About Ghlasbrae
Life is better on the farm...
After many years in the "rat race" working 9-5 jobs in big cities, we eagerly sought change for ourselves and our future. We fell in love with a farm in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, loaded our family (and dogs) up, drove cross country and never looked back. We now maintain a mixed flock of sheep, raise pigs and sell seasonal produce to our community. We're committed to sustainable farming practices that protect our land and animals for future generations. We believe that by supporting local agriculture, we can help build stronger and healthier communities.
Southdown Babydoll Sheep
We love our Babydoll Sheep! They were one of the first animals we brought onto the farm and have been a large driver in our rotational grazing practice. Who can't smile when there's a lamb smiling back?
Babydolls make wonderful companions, mowers and are the perfect project for 4H kids. Originally bred for their outstanding quality of meat and extreme hardiness, these miniature sheep are making a comeback as the lamb of choice for small homesteads to raise.
Our sheep are OEBSSR & BSRA registered.
Idaho Pasture Pigs
Idaho Pasture Pigs were the second animals to be brought onto our farm. After much research and deliberation, we decided that the good disposition, medium size and lack of rooting behavior made them a great fit.
Due to their upturned snout, they choose to graze instead of root. This supplements their diet in ways commercial pigs don't get, resulting in meat that is more marbled and higher in Omega 3's.
