About the Farm

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 approximately 500 head of lamb and our herd is constantly growing. We also host Peacocks, turkeys, Great Pyrenees dogs, farm cats, chickens, ducks and Geese..

Our herd sustainably maintains the grounds of the solar farm. Salami and other products are available for purchase on our farm and from Sunraised Foods.

AWARDS

Montgomery Sheep Farm won The North American Agrivoltaics 2024 Solar Ranch of the Year award. This is an annual campaign to discover, elevate, and celebrate outstanding achievements in the advancement of dual-use solar development in North America.

Going Off the Grid

In 2018, Montgomery Sheep Farm completed an ambitious project to take the farming operations and residential buildings entirely off the grid in order to demonstrate the feasibility of renewable energy and micro-grid technology. We are powered by a 25kW solar photovoltaic array coupled with 53 kWh of Tesla batteries.
