Wild Patch Woolies

Wild Patch Woolies, Teeswater sheep, Avella, PA, serving Washington County and southwestern Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh.
Heidi Hileman runs a small-scale, family-run homestead and has been raising Teeswater sheep for several years, following best practices with regular health screenings, industry-recommended footrot prevention, and detailed parasite management records.

The flock grazes on rotational pasture spanning gently rolling fields at the family farm, with cedar fencing protecting against predators.
Each lamb receives gentle daily handling to foster a calm temperament and early socialization.
Teeswater offspring from this flock are prized for their long, glossy locks and gentle nature that spinner associations value for a soft, lustrous yarn.

The farm’s rural setting off Meadowcroft Road provides plenty of fresh air, rolling pastures, and space for natural behaviors.
Comprehensive record keeping ensures traceability from registered rams to final fleece, giving spinners confidence in fiber origin.
Breeding decisions prioritize structural soundness and fleece quality to maintain the integrity of the Teeswater line.
