Triple J Acres

Triple J Acres, Cheviot sheep in Airville, PA, is located in southern York County and the Susquehanna Valley near York. John Eaton and Melissa Trostle-Eaton have been raising Cheviot sheep with membership in the American Cheviot Sheep Society and conduct regular health screenings to maintain flock well-being.

The flock grazes rotationally on pasture around their century-old farmstead, and lambs are handled daily to support calm temperaments and early socialization. Water sources are tested routinely, and biosecurity measures help protect against common ailments. Triple J Acres also welcomes local 4-H groups for educational visits, sharing insights into sustainable sheep husbandry.

Their breeding focus balances fleece quality and hardiness suited to Pennsylvania’s varied seasons. The farm’s membership in the Pennsylvania Sheep Breeders Cooperative links them with producers across the mid-Atlantic. Offspring often find roles in fiber arts and small-scale homesteads for their fleece and docile nature.
