Seth Riley

Seth Riley operates a family-run farm raising Tunis sheep in North Stonington, CT, in southeastern Connecticut near Providence. Riley has bred Tunis sheep for years, maintaining routine health screenings, parasite control, and adherence to established guidelines. All animals graze on rotational pastures and spend nights in a straw-bedded barn, where daily handling helps foster calm dispositions. Lambs are introduced to families early, benefit from daily handling, and enjoy access to shelter, fresh water, and mineral supplements.

Fleece is shorn each spring, attracting local spinners and handcrafters who value its fine texture and natural luster. Pastures are managed to encourage natural foraging among native grasses, with supplemental hay provided in winter months. Community members appreciate the farm’s approachable atmosphere and Riley’s openness in discussing sheep care. The farm blends time-honored husbandry with seasonal shepherding to support both animal welfare and product quality.
