Wallace's Wooly Woods

Wallace’s Wooly Woods raises Leicester longwool sheep in Windsor, MA, in Berkshire County near Pittsfield. Nicole Wallace has been breeding this heritage sheep for several years, is an active member of local sheep breeder networks, and follows recommended health screenings for genetic soundness. The flock grazes on rotational pastures framed by mixed hardwood woods, and lambs spend their first weeks under close observation to support early socialization.

Their breeding philosophy balances traditional standards with practical hardiness, delivering wool prized by artisans across the region. A handful of their ewes and rams have been noted for fleece density and staple strength in local wool shows. Families visiting the farm often comment on the calm temperament of the sheep and the welcoming environment of the small homestead. During winter months, the flock moves into a well-ventilated barn where they receive a balanced hay-and-grain diet to maintain condition. Nicole Wallace offers in-shed workshops on flick carding and natural dye techniques for those interested in fleece processing.
