Leaning Tree Farm

Leaning Tree Farm, raising Leicester longwool sheep in Lititz, PA, serves Lancaster County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. Leaning Tree Farm is operated by Dave Kauffman, who has been breeding Leicester longwool sheep for several years following national registry guidelines and health-testing protocols.

Each animal grazes on rotational pastures and receives daily handling to support calm temperaments and robust growth. This pasture rotation supports soil health and plant diversity on the property. The farm participates in local agricultural fairs, where its sheep have earned recognition for fleece clarity and density.

The farm’s wool consistently attracts local spinners for its fine texture and spring. Housed in a renovated barn with access to natural shelters, the flock benefits from a balanced diet and careful monitoring through lambing season. Attention to early socialization ensures that lambs adapt well to different environments and maintain strong herd dynamics.
