Icelandic sheep are one of the oldest and purest breeds. For over 1000 years they have provided fiber, meat and milk. Mature Icelandic ewes weigh 130-150 pounds, rams 180-200 lbs.. In Iceland they are primarily a meat breed. Their tails do not need docking. In North America the CLRC registers Icelandic Sheep. They are good lawn mowers as well, and we are rotating our rams and yearlings through our plum orchard pastures. They enjoy the shade the trees provide, as well as the variety of grasses, tree suckers and blackberry leaves. See photos of our prize winning lambs and sheep.
We have a flock of Delaware Chickens, a heritage breed. They are a great dual purpose chicken and lay delicious brown eggs. We also offer free range, organically fed chicken eggs.
