Budding Creek Farm LLC

Budding Creek Farm LLC, Leicester longwool sheep, Frederick, MD, is nestled in the Mid-Atlantic region near Washington, D.C. It has been raising Leicester longwool sheep for over a decade with membership in regional sheep breeder associations and a commitment to routine health testing. The flock grazes on rotational pastures with access to shelter barns and is handled daily to encourage calm, social lambs comfortable in various surroundings.

Benjamin Sanville has integrated principles of sustainable farming and rotational grazing learned from a family farming tradition. Its lambs often exhibit a fine fleece prized by handspinners and benefit from careful selection for wool quality. Visitors regularly note the farm’s peaceful setting and the flock’s gentle temperament as hallmarks of Budding Creek Farm’s approach to breeding.

Spring lambing season brings opportunities to learn about the breed’s wool characteristics and observe lambs thriving in well-managed pastures. The farm’s emphasis on pasture-based nutrition supports flock health without reliance on growth additives.
