About Hessian Hill
As the Goblet Family has grown, so have the products and services offered at Hessian Hill Farm. Our family has persevered through the tough times and prospered through the good times. Our mission is to provide valued products and services to our local community and continues to be our focus. We strive to provide opportunity to our neighbors in hopes of making our community a better place to live.
The farm was originally started as a dairy and sheep farm in 1964 by Jim’s parents. The name “Hessian Hill” came to be after Jim, as a child, found a Hessian weapon in one of the fields on the property. After doing some research, Jim learned the farm had been a camp for Hessian Soldiers during the Revolutionary War. Jim and Lois eventually returned to the farm and expanded the flock of sheep and diversified the livestock. Today, the Goblet family continues to work together as a family to expand and maintain Hessian Hill Farm.

Our Livestock
Southdown Sheep
Over the past 25 years we have developed a line of high quality, dependable Southdown ewes that have given class winning show sheep. Focusing on quality, and breed standards, our ewes have the traditional black nose and grey coloring on their face and legs and are moderately sized. Their docile nature makes them the perfect breed for a beginning 4-H or FFA member. With State Champions in our blood line, a breeding ewe or ram from Hessian Hill is sure to bring first-class lambs that will improve and expand your existing flock.
Our spring lambs are sold by custom order and are generally ready for processing in early fall. Orders can be placed by the specific cut of meat, or by half or whole increments. While the majority of sheep pasture feed on grass during the growing season, our market lambs are fed grain to assist in the growth process.
Shorthorn Beef Cattle
Deep red in coloring with white markings, our cows are flashy in the show ring and have a natural mothering instinct. This allows us to have a general hands-off approach when it comes to the calving process, intervening only when necessary. We are currently only selling steers for meat and bulls for breeding. Custom orders can be placed for a whole or half of a market steer. Because of our small herd size, we also work with a member of our extended family, who operates Double S farm in Delaware County. If we don’t have a steer ready for market when you’re ready to buy, we will contact Double S to fill your request. Our beef cattle are pasture-raised, eating mostly grass and hay; however, to finish our steer for market, grain feeding is required.
Pork
Every spring and fall, piglets start to grown on the farm. All of our pork is raised for meat to sell to our local community. While our pigs are fed grain, the majority of the feed they receive is old, non-salable vegetables and leftovers, also known as “slop,” coming from our farm and neighboring farms. For added “flavor,” they also receive a regular treat of “spent” brewers grain.
Chickens
Our flock of laying hens provide our customers with delicious, locally produced eggs all year long. We also raise broiler chickens throughout the year, providing our customers with fresh chicken.
