Patriot Acres Ranch

Patriot Acres Ranch, Barbados blackbelly sheep, Gap Mills, WV, Monroe County and the Greenbrier Valley near Lewisburg. Jennifer Honaker and Travis Honaker run a family farm focused on raising healthy sheep with balanced temperament and strong maternal lines. They maintain registrations with recognized breed associations and schedule routine health screenings for lambs and ewes.

The ranch has been a part of the local farming community for years, building trust through consistent animal welfare practices. A heated lambing barn provides individual pens with fresh bedding and secure fencing to support each newborn. Lambs graze in open pastures under rotational systems to enrich soil and encourage natural behaviors.

Early handling routines introduce the flock to calm human contact while sheltered paddocks offer protection in colder months. Many visitors remark on the easygoing nature of the sheep and the couple’s readiness to share tips on sustainable grazing.
