Fern Gulley

Fern Gulley is a breeder of Leicester longwool sheep in Marshall, NC, located in Madison County and the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. It has been registered with the Leicester Longwool Sheep Society for over a decade and follows recommended health testing for parasite resistance and hoof care. Rotational grazing across multiple paddocks helps maintain pasture health, while sheltered barns offer clean bedding year-round. Fern Gulley hosts local workshops sharing best practices in low-impact sheep husbandry and wool processing.

The farm began as a family-run operation dedicated to preserving the Leicester longwool’s heritage and its suitability for Appalachian terrain. Lambs are introduced to flock dynamics and receive daily health checks, promoting steady growth and reliable temperaments. Shorn each spring and fall, the fleeces are prized by handspinners for their bright luster and soft staple. Through measured breeding and pasture management, Fern Gulley balances growth with environmental stewardship.
