Located in northern Baltimore County, Maryland Feederbrook Farm was bought in 1970 by Jan and Michael Van Bibber as a fixer-upper. They worked tirelessly to bring back many components of the farm to its formal glories such as the main farmhouse, corn crib, and barn. During the 70’and 80’s they ran a small cattle farming operation but found that was not quite what they wanted to do. Sheep didn’t come onto the farm until the mid 90’s when the tenants brought them on. After taking over the sheep operation from the tenants, there was a long journey learning about sheep care and fiber processing. Feederbrook incorporated in 2009 after putting a business plan together that would make the farm a sustainable and viable farming operation providing income and support to future generations of family farmers. Today Jan Van Bibber and Lisa Westra work together collaborating on programs, products, and projects to make Feederbrook a destination for fiber and yarn enthusiasts alike.    

 About the Sheep
Feederbrook Farm is focused on producing quality fleeces and locks. We keep an eclectic display flock consisting of Shetland Sheep, BFL, Teeswaters, Clun Forest, Cormo, Corriedale, Gotland, Romanov, and Leicester Longwool. Since we are committed to creating the best locks, the majority of the flock is a cross between Teeswater with the BFL which we refer to as BLTees. Throughout the year we run a flock of about 40 sheep. Often times in the spring we will have lambs for sale. We have been involved in the scrapies irradiation program since 2005. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in some sheep.
