Woodland Acres

Woodland Acres is a Romney sheep breeder in Chepachet, RI, in Providence County near Providence.

Founder Jill Morton brings over ten years of experience with small-scale flocks and holds membership in regional sheep breeder associations. All animals receive routine health screenings for common issues such as parasites and foot rot, and the farm follows a strict vaccination schedule.

Ewes graze on rotational pastures with seasonal forage mixes, and lambs join the herd at dawn for gentle early handling and socialization. Neighbors often comment on the flock’s consistent fleece density and calm temperament, traits Woodland Acres nurtures through attentive care and modest selection practices. Sheep are housed in ventilated barns during winter, with deep-bedded straw providing comfortable rest and easy monitoring of health. The farm traces its roots to a family homestead dating back to the 1950s, and the tradition of quality sheep care continues under Morton’s guidance.
