Anne Chapdelaine

Anne Chapdelaine, Cheviot sheep breeder in Brimfield, MA, operates a family-run homestead in Hampden County and the Pioneer Valley near Springfield. She has been raising registered Cheviot sheep for more than a decade and holds membership in the American Cheviot Sheep Society with routine health screenings, including scrapie and footrot assessments.

The flock grazes in carefully managed rotational pastures bordered by mixed woodlands, promoting natural foraging and development of strong skeletal health. Lambs spend time in sheltered barns with gentle human interaction throughout the day, encouraging calm temperaments and social bonds.

Anne focuses on fine wool production, and her sheep have earned placings at regional agricultural fairs and local fiber co-ops. Rooted in a multi-generational farming tradition, her approach balances respect for breed heritage with practical care delivered on a modest country farm. Visitors often note the flock’s approachable nature and describe the farm’s setting as inviting and serene.
