Welcome to our seaside sheep dairy
Sheep dairies are relatively few and far between in Canada, even more so in British Columbia. We are on track to become the second licensed sheep dairy in all of BC this spring (2025), and it has taken several years to reach this milestone. Whether you’re interested in starting a sheep dairy yourself, are curious about dairy sheep for your homestead or hobby farm, or would like to learn more about sheep milk, cheese, wool, and other products, follow along as we share our journey below.
