Nut House Farm

Nut House Farm Tunis sheep Hockessin, DE in New Castle County and the Brandywine Valley near Wilmington is managed by Deborah Fuller as a small family operation focusing on heritage breeds. As a member of the American Tunis Sheep Breeders Association, it has been raising Tunis sheep for several seasons with routine health testing and traceable pedigrees.

The flock grazes on rotating pastures and spends days in pasture combined with shelter access, with lambs handled from birth to encourage gentle temperaments. Outdoor barn facilities and a dedicated lambing barn support proper upbringing and natural weaning schedules.

Focus on wool quality guides its selection, and a number of lambs from recent seasons have been recognized for fleece prized by local handspinners. Visitors describe the sheep as calm and engaging during farm walks, reflecting the careful socialization practices at Nut House Farm.
