Beau Chemin Preservation Farm

Beau Chemin Preservation Farm is raising soay sheep in Waldoboro, Maine, in Midcoast Maine near Portland. The family-run farm participates in breed registry programs and follows health-testing protocols endorsed by national sheep breeding associations to maintain genetic diversity and sound health in its flock.

Their sheep graze on rotational pastures across varied terrain, receiving daily attention that encourages calm temperaments and ease of handling. During lambing season, pen management and supplemental feeding are carefully adjusted to support both ewes and lambs. Owners Wayne Myers and Jo Ann Myers are committed to preserving this heritage breed, sharing insight at local fairs and workshops to promote sustainable practices. Visitors often note the gentle nature of the flock and appreciate the farm’s steady approach to heritage animal care. Natural shearing and pasture management help maintain the breed’s traditional wool characteristics while ensuring comfortable conditions year-round.
