Freddy's Farm is a small family farm in Bolton MA.
We have been breeding and showing Shetland sheep for almost 20 years!
Besides Shetlands, we also have a flock of cross-bred chickens, 2 horses and 2 minilop rabbits. 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 Via and I show our lambs at local shows starting in May, and continue throughout the summer. During the summer, we grow to around 40-50 sheep, and we graze them on various pastures around town. We downsize to roughly 30 during the winter, so we always have someone who needs a home! Check out our Sheep For Sale page for updates - or send an email to see what we've got! 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!

Announcements:
- What a time - we're fast approaching 2023 lambing time and we're not nervous... what would make you say that!? We had planned 10 ewes to be bred this year, and due to some wiggly fencing we might have 14 bred including some high risk lambers... Regardless of final pregnancy counts, we will have lots of lambs (and even some brood ewes) available in a few months. Check out our sheep for sale page & our Instagram for updates!!
- Wooosh, it's been a while! Finally drafting some updates for 2020. We've got sheep for sale, lots of cute lambs, plus we're working to post fleece and other goodies! We've also got 7 ewes in breeding groups *sigh* -------------------------------------
