Bend-In-The-Creek Farm

Bend-In-The-Creek Farm raises Tunis sheep in Middleburg, PA, Snyder County and the Susquehanna Valley near Wilkes-Barre.

Jake and Laura Clark have been raising Tunis sheep for over a decade and are members of national breed clubs, adhering to health protocols such as foot trimming, fecal egg counts, and regular veterinary checkups. Tunis sheep are prized for their hardy nature and soft fleece that takes dye in warm earth tones, making them a practical choice for small-scale wool producers. Their flock rotates across mixed pasture and hay fields, with access to a well-ventilated barn and fresh water. Every lamb receives daily handling from birth to encourage a calm disposition around people and other livestock.

A background in sustainable agriculture informs their breeding goals, which emphasize wool density and maternal vigor. Their rolling farm landscape includes streamside buffers and pollinator-friendly hedgerows, supporting ecosystem health alongside sheep care. Local shepherds commend the Clarks for reliable support and thoughtfully structured farm visits.
