Members of the Frederick County Sheep Breeders Association are helping to preserve the rural character of Frederick County by raising sheep for a variety of yarn and wool products, farm-fresh meat, 4-H lamb projects, registered and commercial breeding stock, and other products and services.
Members provide consumers with a source of fresh, locally raised, quality lamb (some raised on organic farms), as well as being a resource for various wool products, yarn and fleeces. The association has several events during the year; including general meetings, two pasture walks, a summer picnic, sponsors various events at the Great Frederick Fair, Colorfest food booth, and a winter dinner meeting at the Cozy Restaurant in Thurmont. Please join us to support the sheep and lamb industry in Frederick County, and the surrounding counties in Maryland.
Members come from Washington County, Montgomery County, Carroll County, and Frederick County. All are invited to join. If interrested, click on "Join" and contact Ellen Nicodemus, Treasurer, FCSB.
