Lilac Farm

Lilac Farm is a Shetland sheep breeder in Greenfield, IN, serving Hancock County and the greater Indianapolis area. It has been managed by Katie Gunn for more than a decade and holds registrations with the American Sheep Industry Association, with routine health screenings for parasites and hoof care.

Its flock lives on a pasture-based setup where lambs are handled daily to encourage calm temperament and early social bonds. The farm prioritizes rotational grazing and natural forage to support digestive health and wool quality. Its fleeces are sought by hand spinners for fine locks and consistent staple length.

Many visitors note the sheep’s gentle nature and clear, bright eyes as signs of attentive husbandry. The family-run operation emphasizes sustainability through solar-powered fencing and eco-friendly barn design. Lilac Farm participates in local county fairs and often shares educational workshops on heritage breeds.
