Brought into New Mexico's Rio Grande Valley by the Spanish explorers in the 16th Century, the Navajo-Churro sheep breed is North America's earliest domesticated farm animal.
Once numbering two million, the breed was dissipated by a federally-imposed interbreeding initiative and a government-mandated livestock reduction program. By the 1970s, only 450 Navajo-Churro sheep were left in the United States. The Navajo-Churro sheep's meat is lean with distinctive, sweet lamb flavor.
In addition to excellent meat production, these sheep provide abundant milk and have a highly desirable fleece. The sheep is hardy, living lightly on the land and requiring less water and grass than other breeds.

We are a small farm raising heirloom vegetables and Navajo-Churro sheep. We do all of our planting, cultivation, weeding, and harvesting by hand, and feel that this extra effort put forth can be seen in the quality of our produce. We strive to keep the farm as a healthy and sustainable agro-ecosystem. We are working on this by developing a farm scale composting operation, marketing more locally, and using renewable energy resources like locally harvested wood, bio-diesel, and draft animal power.
