Special Comments:  Welcome to our farm!  Where the sheep all have names, the dogs all have jobs, and the mountains provide a canvas of color and beauty all year long.  We welcome you to visit our farm and see for yourself the beauty of sheep grazing in the pastures, dogs doing a good day’s work, and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Border Springs Farm is nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Patrick County, only 10 miles north of the North Carolina Border and 20 minutes from the picturesque Blue Ridge Parkway.  Border Springs Farm is a small family farm raising Katadin and Texel sheep as well as working Border Collies.  We raise natural grass-fed lamb on our pastures and do not sell any processed lamb that has ever been treated with hormones or antibiotics.  Texel wool is generally available to spinners and can certainly be reserved.  We welcome visitors essentially anytime.  We lamb twice a year, Thanksgiving to New Years, and again in March into April.  The Border Collies work every day doing chores or tuning up for their next sheep dog trial, and the livestock guardian dogs never take a vacation.  They are always on patrol.  The horses, donkey, chickens, and turkeys add a little additional color to the farm.  When we are not doing chores, we train dogs, which sometimes looks more like play.  Basic obedience and agility lessons are available in the evenings and weekends, and stockdog training (herding) and instruction can also be arranged.  If you have never had the pleasure of farm fresh lamb, please check out our lamb page and order some today. Please enjoy your visit and we hope to see you at Border Springs Farm soon.
Products:  Natural grass-fed lamb without hormones or antibiotics.
