Pinecroft Farms

Pinecroft Farms raises Cheviot sheep in Waterville, NY, in Oneida County and the Mohawk Valley near Utica. Their small flock has been bred for more than 15 years, and they follow breed standards set by national associations. As members of the American Cheviot Sheep Society, they adhere to recommended genetic testing and routine health screenings. Lambing takes place in temperature-controlled pens on site, with lambs checked multiple times a day.

Benjamin and Karin Wood manage pasture-based grazing on hillside fields, ensuring lambs enjoy daily turnout and early socialization with family members. The farm’s sustainable practices include rotational grazing and natural feed supplements, reflecting a focus on animal well-being. With a background in small-scale agriculture, they maintain detailed records and welcome inquiries about lineage and bloodlines. Their sheep are known for sturdy frames and fine wool, suitable for both show and fiber projects.
