Whispering Woods Farm

Whispering Woods Farm, Leicester Longwool sheep, McVeytown, PA, is located in Juniata County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. Owners Lynn Goss and Nikki Goss share a passion for preserving heritage breeds and keep detailed records for lineage and performance. The farm has been breeding Leicester Longwool for over a decade and maintains membership in national sheep registries with regular health screenings.

Flocks graze on rotational pastures, and lambs are socialized from birth in a barn with open access to sheltered areas. The flock benefits from seasonal worm counts, vaccination protocols, hoof trimming, and seasonal shade and windbreaks to support overall health. Their approach to husbandry emphasizes natural care and fiber quality.

Many local farmers and fiber artists appreciate the gentle temperament and dense fleece of these sheep. Their Leicester Longwool fleeces have earned recognition at county fairs and small agricultural shows.
