Wye Heights

Wye Heights Plantation is a family-run farm located in Talbot County, Maryland. Black Welsh Mountain Sheep graze the more than 1500 acres overlooking the beautiful Wye River. A single importation in 1973 of 3 rams and 13 ewes by Wye Heights Plantation forms the genetic basis of the North American flocks. Our animals are grass fed and not treated with hormones. They receive only minimal annual immunizations to protect their health. They are humanely butchered at a Maryland USDA facility and the meat is flash frozen. Black Welsh produce superior meat retaining a mild flavor - true garden-fresh lamb. They are particularly noted for their ability to produce high-quality meat and wool on a forage-based system with little or no grain inputs.
