Welcome to our website!


Our farm is located 1 hour North West of Calgary, near the town of Didsbury, Alberta. We maintain a small flock of 50 breeding Ewes and produce approximately 100 lambs per year. With a small operation, we are able to closely monitor the diet and condition of our flock at all times. We take great pride in our farm, and ensure that all of our animals receive exceptional care and attention.


Our lamb is raised naturally on pasture, locally grown hay, whole barley and plenty of fresh air, clean water and sunshine! We do not administer any growth hormones or antibiotics of any kind. We lamb-out in March, and have lambs available for sale in early fall.


We are confident that our breeding program, and our strict attention to detail, results in our lamb being of the finest quality. Knowing where your food comes from, how it was raised, and who raised it, brings a level of assurance that cannot be met by any grocery store.






 

 

We are Craig and Shelley Jessop. Formerly city dwellers, we made the move out of the city in fall 2000, fulfilling a life-long dream of both of ours to live in the country. We both commuted into the city for a few years, then decided to take the plunge into self-employment - and have not looked back since!  In addition to our sheep farm, we operate our own electrical contracting company called "Prairie Sky Electric Limited", and a gift basket company, "Custom Gourmet Gift Baskets".  Do not hesitate to give us a call or drop us a line if you have any questions whatsoever, we look forward to hearing from you!  -Shelley and Craig

FAVORITE QUOTES:


"Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work" ~ Aristotle


"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be."

~ Robert Fulghum


"You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give."  - Winston Churchill

 

"The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

"What distinguishes us one from another is our dreams and what we do to make them come about." - Joseph Epstein

 

"If there is no wind, row."  - Latin Proverb
