Hickory Hollow Farm

Hickory Hollow Farm, Leicester longwool sheep, Boyertown, PA, is nestled in Berks County and the Delaware Valley near Philadelphia. Sherry Fillman has raised sheep for over a decade, participates in national sheep breeding associations and follows recommended health screening protocols to safeguard the flock’s well-being. The flock grazes on rotational pastures, with daily socialization, individual attention at lambing time and field shelters that allow year-round access to fresh forage.

Local fiber artists appreciate the wool’s softness, luster and natural sheen, often seeking it for hand-spinning projects and artisan dyeing. Hickory Hollow Farm maintains a commitment to preserving heritage breeds through selective breeding and community education events, hosting educational visits for local schools and fiber guilds to explore the pastures and learn about sustainable livestock care.

Their farmstead offers a safe, low-stress environment where lambs are raised alongside older ewes in mixed-age groupings that encourage strong social bonds.
