Holland Acres of New Point

Holland Acres of New Point, Leicester longwool sheep in Port Haywood, VA, sits on the Middle Peninsula near Newport News. Heather Holland has been raising fiber sheep for over a decade and follows guidelines from national wool growers associations, with regular health testing and careful genetic selection. The flock grazes on rotational pastures with access to sheltered barns during storms, and lambs are gently socialized from birth to build trust and calm temperaments.

Their sheep have earned ribbons for fleece quality at regional livestock shows, reflecting a commitment to breed character and wool integrity. The wool is valued by local artisans for its length and luster, and farm visits allow enthusiasts to learn about sustainable sheep husbandry firsthand.

The farmland has been in the family for generations, and sustainable rotational grazing supports soil health and biodiversity. Seasonal open days feature barn tours and hands-on demonstrations of shearing and wool processing.
