Glenbrook Farm is a family farm located in Lancaster County.On our farm, we raise sheep, cattle, and dogs. We grow hay, corn, barley, and soybeans which are fed to the animals. We also grow vegetable plants for local produce farmers in our two greenhouses. Enjoy the tour of our farm!

As crop farmers we use regenerative management practices.These practices protect our soil, water, and the environment around us while increasing yields and creating a sustainable future. |
As shepherds we use data and visual appraisal to breed sheep.Using data and visual appraisal result in sheep that excel in commercial production. Our ewe flock consists of about 130 Katahdins, 40 White Dorpers, 40 Romanovs and 20 Texel sheep. |
