We are a small 30 acre farm raising hardy, heritage Icelandic Sheep. Icelandic Sheep are a natural fit here in NW MT, their vigorous lambs are suitable for pasture lambing, they cope easily with our winters and are naturally suited to a grain-free diet. Icelandics have fabulous wool, wonderful meat and are used in their native land for milk and farmstead cheeses. We started raising food for our own family's consumption and now have lamb available for others. Our lambs have never had grain, growth hormones, or antibiotics. Totally nourished on tender young shoots and their mothers rich milk. Icelandic lamb is tender, lean, and full of flavor but low on the "lamby" taste. We also raise chickens and bees, have a milk cow, grow a large garden and have an orchard. ~Our Philosophy~ "Pasture management from the ground up" is our way of life here at Dancing Aspens Farm. Soil Health contributes to plant health which directly impacts animal health. Our role as a shepherd is to, not only care for our animals, but also the soil, water and biological community. We believe in using grazing strategies in a manner that are ecologically sustainable, converting forage into high quality fiber, breedstock and lamb which in turn nourishes us.
