Welcome to Grindstone Ridge Farm! We are a small family operated farm located in the foothills of South Mountain in Frederick County, Maryland. We raise purebred, registered Bluefaced Leicester Sheep, California Red Sheep, Angora goats - both white and colored, alpacas and free range poultry. All of our stock are raised as naturally as possible. We are learning and implementing sustainable agriculture methods for our farm. We jacket our California Reds to provide the cleanest fleeces possible. All fleeces are well skirted before being sold. We sell fleeces from all of the fiber animals and fresh eggs to the local community. Check out the catalog page for the items currently available.
Our goal for this farm is to produce fleeces and rovings that will delight the handspinner and yarns that will be a joy to work with, along with award winning breeding stock for our selected breeds.
Here is a snapshot of our first winter with Pebbles, the California Red ewe in the foreground and three Bluefaced Leicesters ewes in the background. They are waiting for me to go up the hill and feed them. You can call a sheep alot of things, but don't call them late for dinner!
The girls still waiting for dinner. Winter 2010.
