BLACK HAMMOCK FARM

Perserving Small Farms and Animal Husbrandry

At Black Hammock Farm, we are dedicated to preserving the legacy of small family farms and the art of sustainable animal husbandry. Our Katahdin sheep, lovingly known as "The Herd," and our thriving Hatchery are at the heart of our mission to cultivate the next generation of livestock while honoring the principles of heritage breeding. By focusing on non-GMO practices and prioritizing the health and well-being of our animals, we ensure that each member of our flock and brood is raised with care and respect. Through our efforts, we not only provide high-quality livestock but also promote the preservation of small-scale farming, keeping traditions alive for future generations. Join us in celebrating the timeless connection between farm, family, and the land we steward.

We keep it simple — three product lines, one mission
