Freckled Lamb

Freckled Lamb is a women’s clothing boutique in Downtown Liberty. We are owned and operated by Mary Oyler. Mary started Freckled Lamb while staying at home with her son. She wanted an option for women that was trendy but also practical and comfortable for our busy lifestyles.

Freckled Lamb is just that!  You are going to look good while wearing our clothing but also feel amazing. We only order from the best brands that we know fit well and have the best fabrics. At Freckled Lamb, we celebrate bodies of all shapes and sizes and are here to help you fall in love with yourself.  We consider our Downtown Liberty store a getaway- a place where you can escape life (and even have a glass of wine) for just a little bit. You can shop with us in Downtown Liberty or online!

The Watt Agency was created in early 2018 when Jeff Watt and his daughter Jessica took over the Farmers Insurance office of Eric Grampp.  Since then, their office has grown in size and staff.  In May of last year, their office expanded and took over the former Rescue Me Thrift Store space.  The Watt Agency then became a training office for future agents. This is when Grant Baker joined us to begin his journey. In September of last year, Jeff’s wife Megan joined the office, and their son began helping this Spring.

Jeff says, “We have always told our new customers ‘Welcome to our family’, and now we are truly a family office here to help our customers and our community.  Thank you for trusting our family to protect your family!”
