Welcome to SUNRISE SHEEP & WOOL, a small farm located in Sunrise Township in East
Central Minnesota, just below the St. Croix River where it angles East before heading South over Taylor's Falls. We are located 6 miles East of North Branch, 1/2 mile South of Hiqhway 95 on Kost Trail.
The farm consists of about 10 acres of pasture, 20 acres of hay, and 30 acres of Oak and Conifer forest.
In August of 1998, we purchased it from Sharon and Gordon Frank who homesteaded the place in 1973.
It is now the home to a flock of purebred Icelandic Sheep, who enjoy the grass and hay raised on our farm.
We emphasize several different lines of Leadersheep from Iceland. Breeding includes artificial
insemination with semen imported from Iceland.
In September of 2007, Sunrise Sheep & Wool served as the host farm for the 3rd SouthRam Icelandic Sheep VAI Seminar.
Fifteen registrants and a couple of spouses enjoyed two days of learning and fellowship. For those who missed
the seminar and those who want to relive part of it, a slide show of the festivities can be viewed
here.
The links below provide information about our flock to Shepherds interested in
Icelandic Breeding Stock and Spinners interested in Icelandic Wool and
Icelandic Rovings. Each year we offer a limited number of Icelandic Freezer Lambs.
We also have a small inventory of Ram Horns for sale.
Contact us via phone or email for further information or to reserve your freezer lamb.
We accept Credit Cards, PayPal, or Personal Checks as payment.
