Mint City Farm

Mint City Farm breeds Katahdin sheep in Bremen, IN, serving northern Indiana near South Bend. The family-run operation has raised Katahdin for several years, adhering to breed association guidelines, selecting for natural parasite resistance, conducting routine hoof trimming and vaccinations, and conducting regular health screenings to ensure sound stock. Animals graze on pasture with access to barn shelter and receive daily handling to support early socialization. Lambs grow on open pasture, which supports lean muscle development and consistent fleece quality.

Owners Virgil and Kara Chupp emphasize sustainable husbandry through rotational grazing, on-site feed cultivation, and natural fiber production. Their farmstead, established over a decade ago, blends traditional sheep care with attention to breed-specific needs. Many visitors note the sheep’s calm temperament and strong immunity, reflecting Mint City Farm’s steady commitment to flock welfare. The Chupps share insights about Katahdin care and breeding considerations.
