About

The Montgomery Sheep Farm is situated on a 200 acre tract of land in Biscoe, NC surrounded by forests of pine. We employ rotational grazing techniques throughout the property to minimize overgrazing, improve flock health and maximize regeneration of organic matter in the soil.

The property previously served as a hunting lodge, and many of the original structures remain intact and have been repurposed for the farm.

In addition to operating a bed and breakfast, working farm vacations for families, and facilities for weddings and business retreats, the property also serves as a demonstration research site for those interested in sustainable agriculture and off-grid living.

We are open to the public and hope to see you soon!

THE SHEEP FARM

Our property is first and foremost a sheep farm. We have over 500 head of lamb and our herd is constantly growing. We also host horses, turkeys, Great Pyrenees dogs, farm cats, and even a few peacocks.

Our herd is maintained by Sunraised Farms, which uses sheep to sustainably maintain the grounds of solar farms across the Southeast. Salami and other products are available for purchase on our farm and from Sunraised Foods.

Going Off the Grid

In 2018, Montgomery Sheep Farm completed an ambitious project to take the property entirely off the grid in order to demonstrate the feasibility of renewable energy and micro-grid technology. We are now powered by a 20kW solar photovoltaic array coupled with 40 kWh of Tesla batteries. Since commissioning the system, Montgomery Sheep Farm has produced 99% of its own energy.

Tours of Montgomery Solar are available during your visit to our farm.
