Bethlehem Farm

We raise the Tunis breed of sheep specifically for its heritage breed status, distinctive flavor and tenderness, their ability to thrive on pasture and grass, their good mothering skills, and general temperament.

Tunis sheep are one of only three sheep breeds on the Ark of Taste, a heritage food project cataloging delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction. This metaphorical ark carries the dual goal of helping preserve the cultural and social narratives embedded within American food traditions while promoting and preserving biodiversity within our delicate food system.

Our Tunis and Tunis-cross sheep are raised outdoors on pasture in the spring, summer and fall, and are moved into the barn for winter and lambing time. Their diet consists of grass, hay and our own special feed blend: a custom, freshly ground non-GMO feed mix supplemented with organic minerals. A higher quality feed enhances meat quality, nutritional value, and taste.

We offer lambs for sale for many uses:

- Purebred Tunis breeding stock (both registered and unregistered)
- Breeding stock for small farms and hobby farms
- 4H lambs
- Whole lambs for personal consumption
- Individual lamb cuts
