Willow Pond Sheep Farm
Gardiner, NY
Carrie has been milking sheep on her Hudson Valley farm since 2020. Every day between May and October, she milks 40 ewes who produce exceptionally creamy, sweet, protein-rich milk. Her husband, Brent, works in the Willow Pond on-farm creamery, turning the sheep's milk into yogurt and fresh cheese, which is then sold commercially in stores and at farmers' markets.
