— OUR COMMUNITY
Our Roller Bees
A cottage industry empowering women in our community.
— THE PROGRAM
Handmade with heart
The Roller Bees are the heart of our production. They are a dedicated network of women — stay-at-home mothers, women facing economic hardship, domestic abuse survivors, and individuals with disabilities — who hand-roll our wool dryer balls and craft our products from their homes.
Through our partnership with the Women's Resource Center, every Roller Bee receives fair compensation, flexible hours, and the dignity of meaningful work. When you buy a Stoney Mountain Farm product, you're not just buying wool — you're supporting a woman in rural North Carolina.

Balls with a Cause
Every Purchase Makes a Difference
— THE MISSION
Balls with a cause
Our Roller Bees program is more than employment. It's a lifeline for women who need flexible, dignified work. Many of our artisans have overcome extraordinary challenges, and this program gives them economic independence while allowing them to work from home on their own schedule.
When we say "balls with a cause," we mean it. Every dryer ball, every felted ornament, every sponge is a small act of community building.
— THE SPACE
The Hive
The Wool House — affectionately called "The Hive" — is where it all comes together. This is where raw fleece is washed, carded, and prepared before being distributed to our Roller Bees for hand-rolling.
It's also where our team gathers for quality checks, packing, and shipping. The Hive is part workshop, part community center — a place where the spirit of Stoney Mountain Farm comes alive in every handmade product.
