Raising champion llamas for more than 35 years.

Lower Sherwood has been owned and operated by the McGrath family since 1986. We chose llamas because we wanted to raise animals that were not intended for slaughter. Specializing in show and breeding stock, we have produced some of the nation's top llamas.
As one of the first llama farms in the country to shear our llamas (a necessity due to the hot Virginia summers), we also produce yarns and finished products available for sale off the farm at local Farmers' Market. Appointments are required for farm visits.
Update: Hikes are closed for the summer to give our animals a break from the heat! Thanks to everyone that participated.
Get ready for a unique adventure! Llama trekking comes to Bryant’s Cidery, offering visitors a chance to stroll through the beautiful 300-acre orchard alongside these gentle giants.
In November 2022, Florian had surgery to repair her broken leg, and returned to Lower Sherwood for her recovery.

Born on New Years Day, please join us in welcoming our first arrival for 2023, Fitz, to the herd.
Fitz’s dam is Miss Bennett (ILR#289562), and his sire is Kingsley (ILR#292709).
We could not do it without YOU! Volunteers are an enormous asset to small farms like Lower Sherwood and we truly couldn’t meet our mission without them. From animal care, to grounds and event preparation, there is always plenty of work to be done and volunteers are the magic that make it happen!
We’d like you all to meet Flemming!
Flemming’s dam is Cricket (ILR#277079), and his sire is Marcus (ILR#278387).
