It’s lambing season at Sankow’s Beaver Brook Farm. Join us for a tour to visit with more than 100 little lambs. Beaver Brook Farm is a sheep and cow dairy farm producing cheese, milk and dairy products, as well as wool products and poultry. Come see the farm’s operations from taking care of lambs, milking the sheep and cattle, to making cheese right there on the farm.
Children are welcome.
Beaver Brook Farm has been home to the Sankow family since 1917. Situated on one hundred and seventy-five acres in Lyme, CT, it was originally worked as a dairy farm. In 1984, Stan and Suzanne Sankow introduced their first sheep, Sherry and Ding, to the farm. In 2022, they re-introduced cattle to the farm. They sell their products at the store on the farm, as well as at farmers markets and in local stores. As stewards of the land, the farm is committed to using local resources in a sustainable way to produce a nutritious product. Local farm products are fresher, are grown on healthy soils, and help reduce fossil fuel use because it doesn’t have to travel so far to be delivered. Having local farms is also important for food security, in case travel from distant farms is disrupted. The Beaver Brook Farm is protected by an agricultural easement from the State of CT.
