Sweet Sourland Farms

Sweet Sourland Farms is a Barbados blackbelly sheep breeder in Hopewell, NJ, Mercer County and the Delaware Valley near Trenton. Owned by Constance Katzenbach, the operation draws on years of experience within national sheep associations and follows established health-screening practices to manage parasite control and overall flock wellness. As a small family-run farm, it prioritizes individualized care and maintains a modest flock size to ensure attentive husbandry.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures with access to sheltered pens for protection in adverse weather. Lambs are handled gently from birth to encourage calm dispositions and ease in herd integration. Each season’s lambs benefit from a mix of browse vegetation and clover-rich fields, supporting strong growth and natural resilience. Year-round access to fresh water and mineral supplements helps sustain the flock’s well-being through seasonal shifts. Across seasons, the farm’s sheep have gained a reputation locally for their hardy constitutions and steady temperaments in changing conditions.
