Thistle Down Farm

Thistle Down Farm is a Romney sheep breeder in Ladson, SC, in Berkeley County and the Lowcountry near Charleston.

Their flock has been nurtured for several years with regular health testing and registration through the American Romney Sheep Association, emphasizing robust genetics and fiber consistency. Rams and ewes live in comfortable barns with access to mineral-rich grazing areas that are rotated seasonally to support pasture health. Young lambs spend their first weeks on open fields where daily handling fosters gentle temperaments and early social learning.

The farm’s polished fleece is prized by local spinners for its lustrous locks and reliable micron count. A neighbor describes Thistle Down Farm as approachable and attentive, noting the clarity of their animal records and the warmth of their welcome. Over time, the farm has become a quiet meeting place for fiber artists who appreciate transparent practices and direct insight into sheep husbandry.
