Fern Bridge Farm LLC

Fern Bridge Farm LLC, Shetland sheep in North Ferrisburgh, VT, is nestled in Addison County near Burlington. Otty and Kelly are long-time members of the Shetland Sheep Association and follow national guidelines with regular health screenings and careful parasite control to ensure flock well-being. The sheep graze on rotating pastures bordered by woodlots and enjoy daily handling from birth, a routine that promotes calm temperaments valued by fiber artisans and small-scale homesteaders.

The farm occupies a restored 19th-century homestead where lambing takes place in a bright barn with straw bedding and round-the-clock care during birthing season. Reviewers mention the clear communication and thorough updates provided throughout each lambing cycle, and consistent feedback highlights the farm’s clean facilities and gentle, well-socialized lambs ready for new homes. They also offer hand-sorted fleeces noted for soft staple length and consistent crimp, attributes reflecting their focus on structural soundness and high-quality fiber.
