Cedar Haven Farm

Cedar Haven Farm, Shetland sheep, Estacada, OR, is located in Clackamas County and the Willamette Valley near Portland. Juli and Michael Matlack have raised Shetland flocks on this family-run farm for more than fifteen years, maintaining memberships in national sheep breeder associations and following recommended health testing protocols. Lambs are pasture-raised with daily hands-on handling to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization alongside other livestock and visiting children.

The farm’s rolling pastures and shaded shelters offer a natural environment where each animal receives personalized care. Fleece from Cedar Haven sheep is noted for its softness and density, thanks to selective breeding and attentive husbandry. A local vet’s routine inspections and the Matlacks’ detailed record keeping reflect their commitment to the flock’s long-term well-being.

Visitors can join occasional open farm days to learn about sustainable sheep care and fiber processing. Rotational grazing and locally sourced feed support flock health and land conservation.
