WOLSTON FARMS

About the Farm...

 

Welcome to Wolston Farms, home of Ian Caldicott and Raven OKeefe, located in Scio Oregon. At Wolston farms we raise sheep, keep chickens, and train sheepdogs. We care a great deal about our animals and our land. We take every step possible to ensure that our animals are happy and healthy.

This area is exceptionally well suited to raising sheep and training sheepdogs. The climate is very mild so it is rarely to hot for the dogs or to cold for the people. While we do get plenty of rain in the winter and spring the grass also grows year round. It is unfortunately also perfect for a number of sheep parasites.

You may wonder where the name Wolston Farms comes from. Wolston is a small village in central England where Ian spent his early childhood. According to local folklore you are only a true Wolston native if you have fallen in the stream that runs through the center of the village. At this point you have probably guessed that Ian did indeed fall in the stream as a youngster and therein lies the reasoning behind the Wolston Farms name.
