Blackwell Farms

Blackwell Farms, breeding Katahdin sheep in Preston, MD, is located on the Eastern Shore near Salisbury. Established by Eric Blackwell over a decade ago, its flock is registered with the American Katahdin Hair Sheep Association and follows recommended health screening.

All lambs are raised on open pastures with daily handling and socialization, and facilities include sheltered barns and ample shade to ensure comfort during seasonal temperature swings. Blackwell Farms integrates rotational grazing and organic forage to improve soil fertility and animal well-being. Community members note the consistent quality of their sheep and appreciate the farm’s transparent breeding practices.

Recipients of Katahdin lambs find them adaptable, low maintenance, and suitable for both hobby farmers and small-scale producers. Eric Blackwell’s personal commitment to sustainable farming traditions reflects a family heritage dating back to mid-20th-century Maryland shepherding. Regular updates and photographs of growing lambs are available to all prospective buyers.
