Explore the unique world of Jacob sheep with The Worthy Jacob Farm. We're dedicated to conservation breeding and providing exceptional farm products, from award-winning wool to delicious grass-fed lamb and heirloom-quality pelts. Join us in celebrating this remarkable heritage breed.

 

Welcome to The Worthy Jacob Farm, nestled due west of Portland, Oregon in the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area. We are small-fry, dedicated conservation breeders of Jacob sheep. The Jacob is a primitive, hardy, intelligent and unique breed that will often speak for itself.  We have learned much from them. Here you can learn about our farm and our commitment to preserving this heritage breed while offering exceptional wool, meat, fiber products and more. 

We are registered with the Jacob Sheep Breeders association, The Livestock Conservancy and the Columbia Fibres Guild.

We are neighbors to and members of the Columbia Grange #267.

We encourage visitors to the farm by appointment, during daytime business hours.
