About Harvey Farms
We are a diversified farm located in the beautiful Sierra Valley, one of the largest alpine valleys of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range. Our family has been raising sheep for five generations. We offer some of the finest grass fed lamb and cage-free, free-range chicken eggs. We also produce fabulous raw wool fleeces for hand spinners and fiber enthusiasts.
We truly believe in looking at the whole picture.
We work very hard in having harmony with our property. Our property remains off-the-grid as it has been for over 30 years. Solar panels charge our battery pack providing electricity and propane backup generator powers our farm. An artesian spring feeds the three ponds on the property and we use that captured water to irrigate the pasture for our young lambs and ewes. The older lambs and ewes are on the range, which is high mountain desert mix of sage, bitterbrush, grasses and pockets of lush green meadows surrounded by a mix of pine, cedar and fir trees. Our two beautiful Maremmas (guardian dogs) protect our flock.
Selective logging keeps the timber on our property growing and healthy.
Our logging operations produce logs that are sold to the local mill. If the logs are not sound enough for boards they are processed into firewood which is sold to the local population for firewood that is bundled for our local state park for the campers. We keep some of our saw logs to mill on our portable sawmill. We custom cut lumber for clients and ourselves as we always have a building project of some sort going on at the ranch. Clients can also bring us their logs to be cut into beautiful rough cut boards to their liking.
