Sheepy Hollow Farms provides professional solar grazing with sheep across Central New Jersey and the Greater Philadelphia area. Vegetation control with portable electric fencing available. Scalable flock sizes. Request a site walk and quote below.

​

Replace repeated mowing and trimming with a quiet, low-emissions solution: professionally managed sheep grazing under and around solar panels. Sheep can access tight spaces beneath arrays and provide consistent vegetation control while supporting a dual-use, community-friendly solar site.

​

Why Solar Grazing

• Operational efficiency: Reduces mowing frequency and hard-to-reach trimming under panels.

• Asset performance support: Vegetation maintenance helps avoid shading and supports solar production objectives.

• Lower noise + fuel footprint: Less reliance on gas-powered mowing schedules.

• Soil and site benefits: Grazing can support ground cover and erosion control; manure contributes natural fertility.

• Community optics: A visible, positive sustainability story that helps local acceptance.

​

What We Provide

• Right-sized flock (flexible scale for small commercial sites through larger arrays)

• Scalable: We provide as many or as few sheep as your site needs based on acreage, growth rate, and site constraints.

• Portable electric fencing + energizers (optional; we bring it if needed)

• Routine herd checks and a practical move plan

• Flexible commercial terms: seasonal rotations, full grazing-season coverage, or targeted “hotspot” grazing

​

How It Works

• Site walk + scoping: acreage, panel height/clearance, vegetation profile, access points

• Grazing plan: stocking approach, move cadence, fencing layout, water plan

• Mobilization: deliver sheep + set fencing (or integrate with your existing perimeter)

• Operations: scheduled moves, herd checks, and issue escalation path aligned to your team

• Closeout / winterization: demobilize or plan next-season continuity

 

FAQ's

• Is solar grazing more cost effective than traditional mowing?  YES, plus it's moreenvironmentally conscience. 

• Do you provide fencing? Yes, we can bring portable electric net fencing and energizers if you don’t have it.  Sheep, unlike some livestock, are generlaly easy to contain.

• How many sheep do we need? It depends on acreage, vegetation growth rate, and site constraints; we right-size the flock rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all number.

• Is solar grazing established in the region? Yes, there are active solar gra

• zing operators in NJ and PA, and the practice is growing nationally.
