Freddy's Farm is a small family farm in Bolton MA.
We have been breeding and showing Shetland sheep for over 10 years!
Besides Shetlands, we also own a flock of cross-bred chickens, 2 horses and 1 angora rabbit. You can see pictures of the whole crew on the photos page.
Our farm started off as a 4-H project, and has bloomed into a full-time small business. My sister Olivia and I show our lambs at local shows starting in May, and continue all summer long. During the summer, we grow to around 35-30 sheep, and we graze them on various pastures around town. We downsize to roughly 15-20 during the winter, so we always have someone who needs a home! Check out our Sheep For Sale page for updates. Also, check out our Etsy store, you can find our roving, fleeces, and the occasional felted item there.
Thank you so much for visiting our site, and feel free to look around!
