Stony Acres Farm

Stony Acres Farm, Tunis sheep, Vernon, VT, is located in Windham County and the Connecticut River Valley near Brattleboro. Ronald Jones has been raising Tunis sheep for more than a decade, following American Tunis Breeders Association guidelines and annual health screenings.

Animals graze on rotational pastures bordered by stone walls and receive daily handling to build trust from lambing onward. The farm’s gentle flock temperament is often mentioned by visitors, and care routines are shared openly with new sheep owners. Lambs arrive in a sheltered barn with deep straw bedding and access to filtered natural light, while adults graze year-round on hay grown on site. This small-scale approach allows close observation at every stage and supports consistent wool quality and healthy weight gain. The farm has supplied breeding stock to neighboring hobby farms and homesteads for several years, and many local owners praise the sheep’s hardy constitution.
