Melissa Higgins

Melissa Higgins offers professional sheep shearing services out of Coventry, Connecticut, serving farms throughout the broader Hartford area and beyond. Her work focuses specifically on sheep, providing the kind of hands-on fleece removal that keeps flocks healthy and comfortable through changing seasons.

Melissa travels well beyond her home base, covering Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. This regional reach makes her a practical option for small farms and larger operations alike across New England, since she works with clients directly rather than requiring them to travel to her.

Her services run year-round, which suits the varied shearing schedules that different flocks and breeding cycles require. Whether it's a routine spring shearing or an off-season need tied to a specific farm's management plan, she's set up to accommodate ongoing or one-time requests. For sheep owners in and around Coventry and the wider Connecticut River Valley region, her availability across six states offers flexibility that many local shearers don't provide.
