Kirkwood Farm is located in Mount Eaton, Ohio in the heart of Amish county.    

 

                                               

 

Our farm flock includes five breeds of sheep and Angora goats. The sheep breeds consist of Romney (white and colored), Border Leicester (white and colored), Merino, and Natural Colored Merino. Our newest breed of sheep to our flock is Leicester Longwool.  This breed of sheep was extinct at one time.  It was a favorite breed of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.  The breed was re-established in the United States by the Williamsburg Foundation.  There are approximately 400 in the United States.  We are happy to have 3 Leicester Longwool sheep.  The Angora goat colors are white, grey, black, and faded red. They graze on a well cared for pasture and are fed quality sheep and goat feed, minerals, and hay. We practice a feeding procedure that keeps the fleece as clean as possible. Depending on the breed or the growth of their wool, shearing occurs once or twice a year. The skirting process begins after the fleece is shorn. This process is to remove “junk” wool, stains, second cuts, and loose vegetable matter from the wool. We sell roving, raw wool, washed wool and fiber animals.  Visit our Wool and More Store for additional items.
