Who We Are
We are a small family farm located in Central Point raising Finnsheep, Ducks & Quail. We will have natural and ethically raised meat & eggs for our local community. |
Our Colorado Farm is closed, we now operate out of Central Point, Oregon, in the amazing Rogue Valley!
We lived in Fountain, Colorado from when the Army stationed us there in 2005. When we left active duty in 2009, we decided that we loved the Colorado Springs area and this was where we wanted to stay and start our family. In 2011 we bought a small 5 acre property in Fountain with the intent of having more space and one day hoping to do something where we could work for ourselves. Those two things came together and we decided to start a small farm on our property. So, Little Roman Farm was born January 1st 2015 in Fountain, Colorado. We have gardened for ourselves since childhood, and love the peace that working the earth elicits. We support and stand for natural and sustainable practices and are excited to be a part of the local food movement! In 2018 we decided we wanted more space for our family and to diversify our farm endeavor, so in late 2019 we purchased a large parcel of raw land in Southern Oregon. Our intent was to build or at least begin to build on our new land and then move but to say the least the worldwide events of 2020 put our plans in flux! In late 2020 we chose to sell the Colorado farm and just move out to Southern Oregon, finding a home in the rural Central Point area that we could still raise our sheep, quail & children at. We now focus mostly on those sheep & children as we work towards our future farmstead. We continue to raise our Finnsheep and we regularly will have lambs available for pets or breeding. All of our animals are able to be registered with the Finnsheep Breeders Association (FBA). We also humanly butcher some of our lambs for meat. We use only USDA-certified butchers so as to have lamb available by whole or by the cut. We also have raw fleeces and tanned lambskin hides. We also produce a variety of farm-crafts and products related to our various nerdy interests under the farm name and as Ironhorse Armoury. As far as the children go, they continue to grow and flourish in the crazy life we've made for them!

How We Grow |
Little Roman Farm endeavors to utilize only all-natural, pesticide-free, beyond organic methods of production. We would rather lose a crop than sacrifice those ideals. Whereas organic standards permit certain chemicals to be applied as fertilizer, amendments, or pesticides, we reject the notion that such artificial additives are required for successful cultivation of crops.
