Creature Comforts Farm, LLC

Creature Comforts Farm, LLC raises Teeswater sheep in Chardon, OH in Geauga County and the Cleveland area. Kelly Sanford has bred Teeswater sheep for more than a decade and maintains registrations with national sheep associations, with annual health screenings to ensure flock well-being.

Annual testing for ovine progressive pneumonia and caseous lymphadenitis safeguards breeding stock and offspring. Flock rotations on diverse pastures help preserve pasture health and promote strong hoof and respiratory condition. The farm’s hands-on approach includes early socialization to build calm temperaments, and lambs spend time with family members to strengthen bonds.

Several flock members have won regional fleece contests, highlighting the breed’s lustrous locks and consistent staple length. Care practices follow sustainable principles, with organic forages and natural bedding selected seasonally to support wool quality valued by local fiber artists. Kelly also hosts occasional workshops for new shepherds, sharing insights into sustainable flock management.
