Jackson Family Farm, Leicester longwool sheep, Carlisle, PA, Cumberland County and South Central Pennsylvania near Harrisburg. They have been breeding Leicester longwool sheep for several years and follow recommended health-testing protocols through national sheep industry organizations.

At the farm, the flock grazes on rotational pastures with open shelter for year-round comfort, and lambs are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperaments. Pasture management includes regular soil testing and customized forage mixes to support overall flock health.

As a family operation, they emphasize low-stress handling and allow visitors to observe feeding and shearing routines by appointment.
