Aboundingful Farm

Aboundingful Farm raises Leicester longwool sheep in Palmyra, PA, Lebanon County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. Ellen Anderson has been raising these sheep for over a decade and participates in breed registry programs, with regular health screenings to ensure flock well-being. Animals graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling from birth, fostering calm temperaments and strong bonds with their caregivers.

Wool is sheared in spring and autumn to promote fleece health, and many buyers note its soft drape and excellent staple length. The farm’s open-sided barn offers shelter during seasonal changes, and pasture access supports natural foraging behaviors. The property features gently rolling fields shaded by maple and oak trees, giving sheep varied forage across the year. Health records are kept for every lamb, and vaccinations and parasite controls are tailored to each group’s needs.

Ellen’s background in fiber arts guides her breeding choices toward fleece traits valued by handspinners and weavers.
