Lauren Riddle

Lauren Riddle raises Tunis sheep in Bloomsburg, PA, serving Columbia County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. She has bred Tunis sheep for several years, participates in breed-specific associations, and follows recommended health screenings to support flock well-being.

On her small family farm, the flock grazes on well-managed pasture with access to shelter and fresh water. Lambs receive daily gentle handling and grow up alongside backyard goats and poultry to encourage balanced socialization. During winter, the sheep are provided a nutritionally balanced supplement and shelter in a well-ventilated barn.

The breed’s wool is valued by local fiber artists for its softness and natural hues, reflecting the careful feeding and rotational grazing Lauren employs. Feedback at community agricultural fairs often highlights the sheep’s calm dispositions and the farm’s transparent approach to animal care. A seasonal lambing schedule aligns with pasture growth, which eases the transition for ewes and lambs alike.
