Bide A Wee Farm

The 2026 Black Sheep Gathering is June 26-28 at the Albany (OR)
Fairgrounds. The Marketplace vendor booth map is now out and you’ll find us in booth I-16 again this year. We’ll have a great selection of Jacob, Navajo-Churro, and bide-a-leicester fiber and sheepskins, yarn, cleaned sheep skulls and bones, horn buttons, horn earrings, lamb tail keychains, and more...

We’re set up for the 1st Fresh Friday at Trade Street Commons in Amity, OR. It’s a gorgeous day and we’re here until 5pm.

Join us this Thursday, May 21 for the opening day of the McMinnville Downtown Farmers Market. Hours this year are from 12-6 PM. This will be bide a wee farm’s 18th consecutive year selling our home grown, grass fed and finished lamb cuts at the Market. Hope to see you there!

After our lambs are born they spend a few days with Mom in a pen, then before they’re released, they’re photographed, they get an ear tag, and we fill out a lamb checklist. These photos are really just for documentation, but every now and then one of them just makes me smile. This is one of those. It shows the bide a wee farm shepherd who rarely appears in photos, holding a lamb who is posing beautifully, with her mom in the lower left corner making sure her baby is okay. ❤️

Killdeer are plentiful here and are thriving despite their insistence on laying their eggs in high traffic areas frequented by sheep. Despite that, I’ve never actually seen one of their nests. Until today.

Happy Mother’s Day to Cathy Lobb, the best mom a kid could have. ❤️
