Hedgerow Farm

Hedgerow Farm, Leicester longwools in Bishop, GA, in Oconee County in northeastern Georgia near Athens. Hedgerow Farm follows established health-testing protocols for the breed and aligns practices with guidelines from national sheep associations.

The flock benefits from rotational grazing on rich coastal Bermuda and rye pastures, with access to draft-safe shelters outfitted with straw bedding. Lambs are introduced to gentle daily handling and provided with a schedule of vaccinations and mineral supplementation for optimal growth. Origins at Hedgerow Farm trace back to a modest family effort, and today the farm partners with local feed suppliers to maintain nutritional balance.

Family values guide the farm’s sustainable approach, with composting of straw bedding and rainwater harvesting for pasture irrigation. A closed-flock policy helps minimize disease risk, and hand hygiene is enforced at every barn entry.
