Hobbs Farm

Hobbs Farm is a breeder of Leicester longwool sheep in Cambridge, MN, Isanti County and east central Minnesota near Minneapolis.

Each sheep grazes on rotational pastures, and lambs are socialized from birth in a family-oriented setting that balances outdoor activity with attentive shelter.

The farm’s rolling fields reflect a commitment to sustainable grazing practices that support animal well-being and local ecosystems. Seasonal shearing is performed on-site with experienced hands to ensure fleece quality and animal comfort. Hobbs Farm’s Leicester longwool wool is prized for its luster and strength, making it well suited to handspinning and felting projects. The farm’s proximity to regional fiber festivals highlights its connection to the local fiber arts community, and visitors often note the flock’s calm temperament and sturdy conformation, traits that result from consistent breeding standards and thoughtful husbandry.
