OUR STORY - Who We Are
Windermere Farms was founded in 1962 by Abraham and Mary Allebach. The farm began as a dairy operation, but Percherons were soon introduced, and the breeding program has since earned worldwide recognition.
Over the years, Windermere Farms has produced numerous National and World Champions, becoming a trusted name in high-quality Percheron breeding and show stock. Windermere Farms also helped pioneer the collection and shipment of semen within the Percheron breed.
We have long been a leader in the shipment of semen from top-quality Percherons and continue to provide exceptional service to breeders worldwide.
