About us

Nestled in Greenfield, Massachusetts, on 30 acres of rustic natural farm land Tanstaafl Farm is home to a variety of sheep, turkeys, and chickens. The farm is regularly managed with the help of its border collies who help with the daily farm chores and overall management of the farm's livestock.

Tanstaafl Farm is environmentally friendly. All animals are raised free-range without the use of hormones or antibiotics. Sheep are naturally raised on pasture to produce lean meat and clean quality fleeces for hand spinning or felting. Chickens are free-range producing an abundance of farm fresh eggs. Turkeys are also free-ranged. Both are some of the best you will eat.

Visitors are welcome by appointment only. Please see our contact/visit us section for more details.

The Border Collies on the farm help with the everyday chores, holding the sheep off during feeding, moving the sheep to different pastures, sorting them into various feeding groups and other management chores. The Border Collie originated from the border regions between Scotland and England some 500 years ago and is bred for its ability to herd and manage livestock.
