Willows Bend Farm

Willows Bend Farm breeds Shetland sheep in Martinsville, VA, in Southwest Virginia near Roanoke. Mary Elizabeth and Phalen maintain a small family farm where their flock grazes on gently rolling pasture. They follow recommended health protocols including routine hoof trimming and parasite control, and they participate in regional sheep breeders’ gatherings to stay informed on best practices.

Their lambs are handled from birth to foster calm temperaments and ease of care. The farm’s wool production has supported local fiber artists, reflecting the breed’s fine fleece qualities and the owners’ commitment to sustainable farming. Visitors often note the gentle disposition of the sheep and the farm’s welcoming, hands-on environment.

Phalen and Mary Elizabeth are active participants in county agricultural fairs, sharing insights on heritage breed conservation and community farming. The sheep sleep in a spacious barn outfitted with deep straw bedding, offering shelter through all seasons, and are fed primarily on pasture with supplemental hay during winter months.
