Ridge Haven Farm

Ridge Haven Farm, Soay sheep, Conneaut, OH, serves Ashtabula County and the Lake Erie region near Cleveland. They participate in recognized sheep breeder associations, carry full registration for each lamb, and adhere to health screening protocols for parasite control, hoof care and genetic soundness. Animals are raised on pasture with rotational grazing, daily handling and shelter access to foster calm, well-adapted flocks suited to seasonal conditions.

Their approach combines traditional shepherding with selective breeding for hardiness and low-maintenance traits, supporting the long-term survival of Soay sheep. Pastures are managed without synthetic chemicals, promoting biodiversity, forage quality and a natural rhythm that benefits both sheep and the land.

Visitors often note the welcoming farm atmosphere and the ease of meeting curious lambs during small-group farm tours. Ridge Haven Farm maintains small flock sizes to focus on individual animal welfare, careful record-keeping and thoughtful genetic planning.
