Flintstown Plantation

Flintstown Plantation, Teeswater sheep in West Baldwin, ME, is located in Cumberland County near Portland. A family-run operation, Joan Flint has nurtured quality fleece and sound stock for over fifteen years with adherence to standards set by the American Sheep Industry Association, including regular health screenings for scrapie resistance and hoof integrity.

Animals graze on rotational pastures with access to barn shelters stocked with fresh straw and hay, and lambs receive daily socialization to foster gentle temperaments. The flock’s long-staple fiber has drawn attention at regional fiber festivals, and offspring are often shared with fellow breeders to support breed preservation. Shearing is conducted each spring under veterinary guidance to maintain wool quality and animal comfort, and records of lineage and performance are meticulously kept.
