Timberwolf Farm lies in a picturesque valley, about two miles to the West from Sweet Home in the foot hills of Oregon’s Cascade Mountains.

We, Ingeborg (Inge) and Wolf, bought the farm in December 2006. Our starting herd consisted of four Coopworth ewes, a Romney ram and two male alpacas. One of our ewes died last winter from ketosis, a metabolic disease connected with pregnancy. The other three gave birth to six lambs. Thus, we have ten sheep now.  Our goal is to keep 15 sheep for wool. The surplus lambs will be sold or slaughtered.

The fleeces of our animals are being processed into roving, felt and yarn, which we offer for sale in our web shop.

Also available in the farm shop is Inge’s fiber art. She makes beautiful bobbin lace pieces.  Her work has been published in the British Lace Magazine with pieces that won her the certificate of an advanced bobbin lacer. Please click here to learn more about the art of bobbin lace. Inge also produces amazingly tiny miniature bobbin lace and other needle work objects for doll houses. She is an artisan member of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans.

We also produce potted plants and herbs in our garden and in our greenhouse. These products we sell at the local farmer’s market. We are practicing low-impact agriculture. That means we do not employ heavy machinery, we do not apply herbicides, insecticides or any other “cides.” So far we could manage quite well  without dewormers and without antibiotics.

Before we started this new venture in Oregon, we had been research scientists and college teachers (Inge is a physician and Wolf a veterinarian). After retiring from our University jobs, we had raised sheep on Montserrat in the Caribbean, where we ran a SCUBA dive operation (Seawolf Diving School).  We also had served as the island vets on our small island for 8 years.
