Thistle Down Farm

Thistle Down Farm, a Romney sheep breeder in Canandaigua, NY, serves Ontario County and the Finger Lakes near Rochester. The farm has been raising Romney sheep for several years, maintaining a registered flock and applying breed association standards for health testing and genetic selection.

Animals graze on rotational pastures and enjoy year-round shelter in well-ventilated barns surrounded by mixed woodlot and meadow for natural forage diversity, with mineral supplements provided seasonally to maintain flock health. Owner Eileen L. Kennedy emphasizes gentle handling and early lamb socialization to support calm temperaments and enhance wool quality.

Wool from its flock is valued locally for its consistency in fleece weight and fiber length. Visitors often comment on the farm’s peaceful setting and the attentive care each animal receives. The family-run farm traces its roots to traditional fiber production practices, blending time-honored methods with careful record keeping. Its wool often features in fiber arts events throughout the region.
