Sweet Home Farms

Sweet Home Farms, Clun Forest sheep, Gaston, OR, is nestled in the Willamette Valley near Portland. The farm has raised this hardy breed for several years, following industry-recommended health screenings for footrot, parasites, and common ovine conditions. Each animal grazes on rotational pasture and enjoys daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and ease of lambing.

Carla A. Green and Michael R. Polen track lineage and lambing records with care and work alongside local veterinarians for routine checkups. They partner with community shearers and feed specialists to support wool quality and animal wellness. Their sheep are praised for strong maternal instincts and adaptability to small-scale sustainable systems. As a family-run operation, Sweet Home Farms keeps its flock deliberately modest so every sheep receives personal attention in a shelter-equipped barn. The farm’s open meadows and forested shelter provide a balanced environment that aids healthy growth and stress-free lambing.
