Fox Hollow Farms L.L.C. is a small family-owned homestead situated within South Brooksville which is in the region of West Central Florida. We are located in the middle of Tampa and Ocala, which are both an hour's drive away. As a family-owned homestead, we are not open to the general public and welcome visitors by appointment only. Besides being a small operation we are also brand new and have a lot of ongoing construction projects that are either in progress or pending. Given our current construction projects, we are unable to host large tours at this time. God willing we anticipate to have everything fully operational by the summer of 2022 at the latest, if not sooner.
We are proud to specialize in Florida Cracker Sheep, which is a rare heritage breed that is currently listed as critically endangered by The Livestock Conservancy. For those not familiar with this breed, Florida Cracker Sheep are a very hardy, have extremely high tolerances to both heat and cold, enjoy excellent lamb production, exhibit strong maternal instincts, and unlike other sheep, they are virtually resistant to nearly every sheep related parasite known. They are also one if not the oldest breed of sheep in North America, and were first introduced by Spanish Conquistadors over 500 years ago. Today's Florida Cracker Sheep like their Cracker Horse and Cracker Cattle cousins are the direct genetic descendants of those sheep.
Florida Cracker sheep can be sold for meat, however at this time, given their critically endangered status, we have chosen to breed our Crackers for propagation and wool only. In the future, as our flock grows, we will sell Crackers for meat, but at this time we will focus on propagation and wool.
As a brand new sheep ranch, we are currently busy building up the size of our flock, in addition to finishing a wide range of key building and fencing projects. As such we anticipate that our first lambs should be available around March - June of 2020. For a complete break down on lamb availability, please click here and to learn more about Florida Cracker Sheep, please click here.
Outside of Florida Cracker Sheep, we currently sell free-range organic eggs on occasion and have plans to add beehives. For updates as to when Florida Cracker lambs will be available for sale, as well as the future availability of organic eggs, and honey please visit our Facebook Page, or check the News section in the menu above.

Thank You & God Bless,
