Oak Apple Farm

Oak Apple Farm, Shetland sheep, Roseburg, OR, is a small-scale breeder in Douglas County and the Umpqua Valley near Eugene. They have bred Shetland sheep for over a decade with regular health screenings and adherence to recognized breed registry standards.

Its flock of around thirty animals grazes on managed rotations that support natural foraging on rolling pastures and wooded edges. Daily handling and gentle exposure to family life help lambs grow confident and sociable in barn shelters and open pens. Spring lambing follows a seasonal timetable that allows close monitoring and selective breeding for wool texture and fleece density.

The farm grew from a small homestead project into a dedicated fiber initiative, blending traditional methods with practical farm routines. Seasonal open farm days feature shearing demonstrations and information on fleece grading. Many customers appreciate the consistent wool quality and the farm’s thoughtful approach to sustainable agriculture.
