Walnut Grove

Walnut Grove breeds Tunis sheep in Lancaster, SC, located in Lancaster County and the Piedmont region near Charlotte. This family-operated farm has followed breed standards for over a decade and is a member of the American Tunis Sheep Society. Each group of lambs undergoes health testing for common ovine conditions before joining the flock.

The flock grazes on rotational pastures with natural shelters and daily handling to encourage calm temperament. Elizabeth K. Arwood focuses on sustainable practices, rotating crops and using nutrient-rich forage to support ewe and lamb health. Walnut Grove also welcomes small-group farm visits, offering insight into Tunis sheep behavior and care on a rural homestead. The farmstead dates back to the 1970s, and the renovated barns provide safe, airy space for lambing season.

Detailed lineage and health records support flock improvement, and many visitors remark on the calm nature of the sheep and the farm’s hands-on approach to animal care.
