Directions

bide a wee farm is nestled in the lush 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, locker lamb and pelts.

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. Photos of our 2009 will be posted soon... Watch this space or contact us for more information.

Both Jacob and Navajo-Churro* sheep produce lean, mild tasting meat.  We've been selling locker lamb for years but we've recently obtained our USDA prepared meat sellers license (#AG-L1007963PPM) so we can now sell individual lamb cuts.  Our lambs are processed at Mt. Angel Meat Company, a USDA inspected facility located in nearby Mt. Angel, Oregon, where the meat is dry 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.

Please visit the bide a wee Store which offers award winning fleeces, colorful pelts,hand felted scarves and commercially prepared roving and yarn for sale. We've also recently added a line of bide a wee farm note cards and horn buttons.  For tips and recipes visit our newsletter.   For news of the day-to-day happenings on our farm visit our blog at: http://bideaweefarmnotes.blogspot.com
