SourWood Fiber Farm

SourWood Fiber Farm, Leicester longwool sheep, Fletcher, NC, is located in Western North Carolina and the Asheville area. Trey Warner has bred Leicester longwool sheep for over ten years, registering stock through the breed association and conducting foot health exams along with routine parasite monitoring.

The flock moves through rotational pasture, and lambs join the group early to encourage gentle socialization and steady weight gain. Farm grounds include a well-ventilated barn and open grazing fields that support seasonal wool growth and offer protection during harsher weather. Wool fleeces from SourWood Fiber Farm have been recognized by local fiber artists for their loft and natural crimps, reflecting steady care and selective breeding. Since its founding, the farm has maintained a small-scale flock size that balances individual care with consistent fleece production. Animal records track growth, fleece weight and basic health markers to guide breeding choices each season.
