                           Our flock of Shetland Sheep in the winter pasture
Welcome to Twin Springs Farm where the emphasis is on heritage breeds. On our 122 acre farm the primary focus is on Shetland Sheep, a small hardy sheep originally from the Shetland Islands, who produce wonderful soft fleeces for handspinning. Shetland Sheep are small, thrifty sheep who are known to be excellent mothers that lamb easily with vigorous lambs. This year marks our eleventh year of raising Shetlands and it is still great fun. One breeder who had raised other breeds told us that Shetlands practically raise themselves. That's good news because our flock has grown from our original six ewes to seventy adults today. Twin Springs Farm is also home to a small herd of White Galloway Cattle as well as Gracie, our Mammoth Jackstock jenny. White Galloways, who originated in Scotland, calve easily and thrive on poor forage in cold wet climates.
