Birchtree Farm is a small family farm located on approximately 12 acres in Tamworth, NH.  Our breeding goals include improving fleece quality, good meat conformation and stocky build, excellent mothering ability and milkiness, calm temperaments, and correct and beautiful horn set.  We have sheep with AI sires in their pedigrees including Aboti, Bambi, Blaevar, Dalur, Flotti, Grimur, Haengur, Hnykill, Horvi, Kani, Kudi, Laekur, Moli, Rektor, and Serkur.  We are members of the Icelandic Sheep Breeders of North America (ISBONA), and the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation (CLRC), the body which registers Icelandic sheep in North America.  We are also enrolled in the Voluntary Scrapie Flock Certification Program and our flock ID is NH54.

We are not organic, but raise our sheep on pasture, browse, and local hay.  In winter we may also add alfalfa pellets or sometimes formulated sheep pellets to the diet.

Along with our sheep, we also keep poultry.  We raise chickens and Muscovy ducks for eggs and meat.

Helping oversee operations on our farm is Jake, our English Shepherd.  Find out more about the traditional American working farmcollie here.
