Sunbonnet Farm

Sunbonnet Farm is a Clun Forest sheep breeder in Paauilo, HI, in Hawaii County and the Hamakua Coast near Hilo. Owner Leila Gerrish has more than fifteen years of experience, maintains membership in national sheep breeders associations and adheres to comprehensive health screening protocols including annual foot and parasite checks.

The flock grazes across gently sloping pastureland and can shelter in a well-ventilated barn built to suit the island’s upland climate. Lambs benefit from daily gentle handling alongside adult sheep, encouraging calm temperaments suited to homestead settings and small fiber operations. Each sheep’s pedigree is documented to support robust genetic diversity and the production of fine, uniform fleece prized by handspinners.

Seasonal rainfall patterns along the Hamakua Coast sustain year-round grass growth and contribute to the flock’s overall health. Traditional husbandry methods blend with routine monitoring of weight, fleece condition and hoof health to ensure consistent animal welfare. Local homesteaders often note the farm’s transparent record-keeping and the sheep’s approachable nature during community agricultural events.
