Ravenwood Farm

Ravenwood Farm, Romney sheep, Terryville, CT, northwest Connecticut near Waterbury. Melissa Trojanoski has been raising Romney sheep for more than ten years and maintains regular veterinary health screenings and routine hoof trimming.

The farm’s pasture-based flock enjoys rotational grazing across gently rolling fields and shelters in spacious, well-ventilated barns each evening. Trojanoski emphasizes low-stress handling and early-life socialization, fostering calm, curious lambs that adapt well to family farms and fiber arts studios.

Generations of careful breeding focus on consistent fleece quality, and local fiber artists often praise the soft, long-staple fleeces harvested each spring. The farm’s setting among stone walls and native woodlands offers protection from harsh weather while supporting biodiversity. Ravenwood Farm participates in regional fiber shows and adheres to national breeding guidelines. Regular open days allow prospective shepherds to observe flock management and learn about sustainable sheep farming practices.
