Winter Sky Farm

Winter Sky Farm, Shetland sheep, Negaunee, MI, draws on a decade of experience in the Upper Peninsula near Marquette. Faye and Phil Whitney-Lussier are members of local and national sheep organizations and provide annual health screenings, ensuring strong bloodlines and sound conformation. Their sheep live in rotated pastures laced with native grasses and receive gentle handling from lambing to yearling stage, giving them a calm temperament and adaptability.

Winter Sky Farm focuses on sustainable grazing practices that support soil health and natural fiber production. Their fleeces have been recognized at regional agricultural shows for their density and luster. Visitors often remark on the well socialized lambs that respond to handlers with curiosity, reflecting the farm’s commitment to animal welfare. They adhere to biosecurity guidelines recommended by Michigan State University and welcome veterinary inspections as part of their routine care. Each spring, lambing season brings new opportunities to observe flock behavior and sustainable farming in action.
