Inside Duckworth: The Family Behind Montana’s Only American-Made Wool Brand

In Part 2 of my visit with the Helle family in Dillon, Montana, I get to sit down with them and share more about what makes Duckworth’s Sheep-to-Shelf™ story so unique. From the products they create to the family values that guide their work, this part is all about the people behind the wool.

The Helles aren’t just raising Rambouillet sheep — they’re carrying forward a legacy of stewardship, innovation, and pride in producing source-verified, American-made Merino wool. Getting to hear their perspective and see the finished garments reminded me why supporting local, transparent supply chains matters so much.

I’m so excited to share the rest of the journey with you.

My Story:

Hello, I’m Kate Stephens, a 20-year-old 4th generation farmer from Montana. My family's roots in farming run deep, stretching back to 1912 when my great-grandfather emigrated from Denmark and began cultivating the land we still work today. Farming has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; I started learning the ropes at just two years old and now operate one of our combines during harvest. I believe in the importance of understanding where our food comes from, and I hope to share that knowledge in a fun and engaging way through my YouTube videos and products. Kate’s Ag is more than just a brand—it's an extension of our farm, a celebration of the grains we've been growing to feed families for over a century. I hope you find as much joy in my products as I do because they carry the legacy of our land and the hard work of generations.
