Windswept Hill Farm & Studio

Windswept Hill Farm & Studio breeds Leicester Longwool in Farmington, MN, in Dakota County and the Twin Cities near Minneapolis. The farm is a member of the American Leicester Sheep Breeders Association and follows recommended health testing protocols for its flock. Sheep graze on rotational pastures and are handled daily to foster gentle temperaments and strong fiber growth. Originating on family land that has hosted livestock for generations, the farm emphasizes sustainable pasture management and soil health.

The annual spring lambing period brings attentive care to newborns, ensuring early socialization and individual health checks. Owner Wendy Wustenberg blends experience in fiber arts with breeding practices that prioritize fleece quality and animal well-being. She shares insights into wool preparation through informal studio workshops connected to the farm. Buyers often note the calm nature of the sheep and the uniformity of their fine, lustrous fleeces.
