Hardy grazers helping shape the pasture and the next chapter of our farm.
Our Katahdin sheep bring a hardy, traditional presence to the farm. They are grazing animals, so pasture is not just enrichment for them; it is central to how they are designed to eat.
They are handled and observed as part of daily farm care. As the flock grows, we will share more about individual animals, lambs, breeding plans, and future availability.
BACK TO OUR ANIMALSSheep help us pay close attention to forage, weather, and the condition of the land.
Sheep graze grasses, clover, broadleaf plants, and other suitable forage as they move through pasture.
Pasture changes with weather and growth. Hay, minerals, or supplemental feed may be needed when conditions or animal needs require it.
Moving animals and resting ground helps protect forage and spread the impact of grazing across the farm.
We are not currently listing sheep for sale. As the flock develops, future offerings may include lambs, breeding stock, or meat animals depending on our plans and the animals ready to leave the farm.
We will share clear information about availability, purpose, age, and care rather than treating every animal as an interchangeable product.

It means our pigs, chickens, and sheep have meaningful access to pasture where they can root, scratch, forage, or graze. Pasture is part of their living environment, but it does not mean every animal eats grass only or never receives supplemental feed.
Yes. When supplemental feed is needed, we choose organic feed appropriate for each species. This describes the feed we use and does not mean our animals or products are USDA Certified Organic unless the applicable certification is in place.
We do not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides on our farm. We manage the land through observation, animal movement, pasture rotation, forage recovery, and seasonal adjustments.
Pasture growth slows in winter, so we adjust care realistically. Sheep may rely more on hay, pigs may need more supplemental feed, and chickens find fewer insects and growing plants. We provide appropriate feed, stored forage, shelter, and water as conditions require.
Our animals are handled and observed regularly, and many are comfortable and curious around people. They still have individual temperaments, so all farm-tour interactions are calm, supervised, and guided by animal welfare.
