Sundance Acres, LLC

Sundance Acres, LLC raises Cheviot sheep in Hedgeville, WV, Berkeley County and the Eastern Panhandle near Martinsburg. Owned by Mary Richard, it has nurtured this hardy hill breed for more than a decade and maintains active membership in the National Sheep Improvement Program. The flock lives on rotational pasture, with shelters built for shelter and ventilation that reflect a focus on natural husbandry.

Lambs enjoy early socialization with family members and routine health checks that follow recommended protocols. The farm’s setting on rolling meadows offers space for grazing and exercise, supporting strong bone development and wool quality. A neighbor recently noted the even temperament of the flock and the clarity of their communication during feeding time, underscoring Mary Richard’s consistency in animal care.

Mary Richard regularly conducts fecal testing and genetic screening to maintain flock health and genetic diversity. Visitors often remark on the calm atmosphere and the gentle curiosity of the animals.
