Directions

bide a wee farm is located just outside of Newberg, Oregon in the Chehalem Valley, about 25 miles Southwest of Portland, Oregon. We raise Jacob and Navajo-Churro sheep - both listed as 'threatened' breeds on the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC) Conservation Priority List.  We've been raising both breeds since 1994 and are just as enthusiastic about them now as we were when we first started.  Both Jacob and Navajo-Churro sheep are terrific small farm breeds - they're hardy, disease resistant, prolific and multipurpose; supplying breeding stock, hand spinners fleeces, lean, mild tasting lamb, and sheepskins.

Included are brief histories of Jacob and Navajo-Churro sheep, along with sale lists, photos and pedigrees of the adult bideawee Jacob and bideawee Navajo-Churro sheep we currently have for sale.  Our 2013 lambs have arrived - visit these links to our 2013 Jacob lambs and our 2013 Navajo-Churro lambs. For information on our breeding program, including photos of our flock sires, visit our 2013 breeding line up. 

Both Jacob and Navajo-Churro* sheep produce lean, mild flavored meat.  We've been selling whole locker lambs for years but since 2009 we've also been selling have USDA inspected lamb cuts under our USDA prepared meat sellers license #AG-L1007963PPM.  Our lambs are processed at Mt. Angel Meat Company, a USDA inspected facility located in nearby Mt. Angel, Oregon, where the meat is aged for 10 to 12 days before being cut. 
*Navajo-Churro sheep were the first breed of sheep to be included in the Slow Food USA Ark of Taste program.

You can purchase our lamb directly from our farm (please call first to be sure we're home) or at our farm booth at the McMinnville Downtown Farmers Market.  In addition to lamb cuts, we have wool, sheepskins, horn buttons and notecards for sale at...

If you can't visit in person please visit our on-line bide a wee farm Store which offers award winning fleeces, colorful sheepskins, hand felted scarves and commercially prepared roving and yarn for sale.
