Welcome to WICKET GATE FARM
Our family farm is home to a beautiful flock of Icelandic Sheep. Our goal is to
raise healthy animals in a natural grass setting. Our results are wonderful fleeces, gorgeous lambs, unassisted deliveries,
high resistance to parasites, and well mannered sheep who are handled daily.
We live on a traditional dairy farm; however, our son had a growing interest in organics and natural grass
farming. His first animals were hogs and chickens. Because he wanted to learn more about the rotational grazing aspect of
farming, we began researching stock. We visited farms and talked to breeders. We read books and tried to understand the world
of fiber, color, and pattern. In 2006, we purchased our ewe flock. The adventure began....

Nobody told us....
we were going to love the sheep! They are not like our cows and they are certainly not like hogs. They
are like pets: some shy, some bold, some quiet, some demanding. Each one is unique in personality, unique in fiber,
unique in strengths. As we evaluate the flock each year, we are committed to producing quality sheep, wool, and meat.
