The farm

Here's looking at ewe!

Little Brook Farm is a small family farm nestled in the Pioneer Valley in Sunderland, Massachusetts. The farm is run by Kristen Whittle and her son Travis. They practice sustainable, low environmental impact agriculture, offering local consumers a selection of healthy products. Diversification is key to this farm’s philosophy. At the heart of the farm are its sheep and Border Collies. The sheep are primarily Border Leicesters, famous for their soft lustrous wool, which is highly prized by handspinners. Llamas and donkeys live with the sheep and help to protect them from predators. Little Brook Farm is also home to horses, ducks, geese and goats.
