During the18th and 19th centuries, Leicester Longwool Sheep were prized in the American colonies and nascent U.S. for their rapid-rearing and their superior luster wool and good milk. George Washington is known to have raised them at his estate at Mount Vernon. By the early 20th century, the breed had vanished from the U.S., supplanted by other breeds. Colonial Williamsburg's Rare Breeds Project has re-introduced it.
Stillpoint Farm, in Mount Airy, Maryland, is one of several U.S. farms now raising Leicester Longwool.

"The wild thyme, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts. These are only hints and guesses,
Hints followed by guesses; and the rest
Is prayer, observance, discipline, thought and action.
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood is
Incarnation."
T. S. Eliot
From the Four Quartets
"Duck, Duck, Goose" - watercress, meringue spiced pecans, tart cherry vinaigrette, smoked duck breast and duck skin cracklins, ginger balsamic glaze, liver crostini, fennel pickles and kale
