Home to 300 happy sheep who graze our 148 acre farm all summer long. A few beef cows mingle with the flock, moving through pastures around the pond with sweeping hilltop views of the Mohawk Valley.
We lamb in the spring and raise only the best in healthy, grass-fed lamb. Our animals are organically managed on pastures with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and fed no management-antibiotics, or steroids. This makes it better for you and better for the environment. We want to provide you with the best food nature has to offer!
We shear the sheep ourselves. You’ll find fleece for spinners, yarns for knitters, and hand-crafted items for the gift giver… or for yourself! We have a diverse flock with several different fleece types to fit the needs of most any project, including natural colored sheep, just give us a call.
