Leaping Lamb Farm, originally homesteaded in 1862, is a small family farm and farm stay located in a quiet creek valley of the Coast Range, Oregon. We are 40 miles from the ocean and 25 miles from the university town of Corvallis. Our lamb is raised humanely and are primarily grass fed and pastured but receive some grain for training purposes. They are hormone-free and are only treated with medicine as needed.

We moved to our farm here in the Coast Range of Oregon in 2003 as second-career farmers -- our first careers being urban and white collar. Our farming up to this point has consisted of raising locker lamb and producing vegetables and fruits from our large garden, greenhouse, and orchards for ourselves and our guests.

We added our farm stay in 2006 as a way to sustain our farm and enjoy sharing what we have and what we know with our guests. There are no stupid questions and we feel the hands-on experience of our farm creates life-long memories. Scottie is the founder of Farmstay and spends more time in the farm office than she should.

Leaping Lamb Farm is a partner of the Pro Pasture Campaign by Friends of Family Farmers.

The Oregon Pasture Network (OPN) is a program of Friends of Family Farmers, designed to support the growth of pasture-based farming in our state. OPN is a community of farmers, ranchers, food business owners and consumers who believe that sustainable, humane, pasture-raised, animal agriculture is the best way to produce animal products.
