McFarland Creek Lamb Ranch is a small farm located in the Methow Valley in North Central Washington State. The year-round creek is used to provide abundant water for pasture, fruit trees and a small garden. We maintain a small flock of Romney and Romney/Cormo cross sheep that feed on lush pasture in the summer months, and local hay in the winter. The wool is used to make naturally dyed yarn, and we select the best lambs for direct market meat sales. Our philosophy is to practice sustainability and use our resources in the most efficient and responsible way possible. Our lambs nurse on their mothers until they are naturally weaned, and are harvested on site by us, so the stress is minimal. We maintain secure fencing and have guardian dogs to protect the flock from predators so that we can live in harmony with our surroundings.
