Fairweather Farm

Fairweather Farm is our 5-acre homestead located in the beautiful Rogue River Valley of Southern Oregon, just north of Ashland, Oregon - about 20 miles north of the California border, and 300 miles south of Portland.

We raise goats, sheep, chickens and turkeys, grow vegetables and fruits, and produce soap and wool products.

About our property

Our farm is 5 acres, at 1800 feet elevation, Zone 7 - hot, dry, sunny summers and chilly, wet, windy winters. The soil here is heavy black rocky clay, hard for gardening but good for pasture and hay. It's a very dry area - about 20" annual rainfall. We have water rights, irrigation water comes from irrigration district water, so from the nearby reservoirs that are filled by winter rains and snow.

Jay's had the property since 1997, but we really got to work on improving the land when we married in 2001 and both started living here full time.
