At Rooted Feather, we don’t just raise sheep.
We raise legacy.

Our flock is built for the long haul: heritage Icelandics, bred with precision and raised with purpose.

These are not fast-production animals.
They’re hardy, pure, and time-tested. Selected for tough land, soft wool, lean meat, and instincts that have been honed over centuries.

We don’t follow trends. We follow bloodlines.

Our stock is limited by design. What leaves our pasture is built to anchor yours for decades to come.

If you’re building something enduring.
Something to pass down.
You’ll understand what sets this apart.

Rooted Feather
Heritage, preserved.

At Rooted Feather Farm, we’re not just raising livestock - we’re raising a legacy.

As a veteran-owned, family-run farm, our work is built on a foundation of loyalty, hard work, and values that go deeper than profit. We believe in showing up for your family. We believe in doing right by your word. And we believe that the land teaches us what matters most: faith, resilience, and the kind of honesty that holds up under pressure.

We love collaborating with other small farms and businesses that share those values, especially those raising children in this life, stewarding their land with care, and honoring their commitments like their name depends on it.

This is more than just a business for us. It’s how we live, how we parent, and how we build trust in our community. And while we’re always cheering for small businesses, we’re especially proud to support those who reflect the character we strive to model every day.

We’ll always choose partnerships that are rooted in integrity - and we’re not afraid to quietly walk away from anything that isn’t.

Are you a small farm or ag-based business that shares these values? Drop your page or link below so we can follow along, support each other, and help build a stronger ag community - one that lasts for generations.

Golden hour on the farm 🌅

Photographing the flock before the bulk of them get shipped all over the NW! This year we hit a record size for our flock and while it’s been exciting, we are looking forward to getting them to their new homes. Over the next month, we’ll be sending off many of our 2025 lambs to their new homes and we couldn’t be more excited for the shepherds who are adding top-tier Icelandic genetics to their flocks.

We’re now down to just 10 sheep available for reservation. If you’ve been watching and waiting, now’s the time to reach out. Once they’re gone, they’re gone—and we won’t have more available until next year.

Whether you’re looking to build your flock, bring in new bloodlines, or finally start that dream homestead flock, we’d love to match you with the right sheep.

Trust the process, trust the stock.
Raised right, from the ground up.

Heading Home 🐑

Another pair of Icelandic sheep are loaded up and on their way to their new farm - and they’re not the only ones!

Over the last few days, several groups of sheep have left the farm and gone to new homes - with more heading out over month. If you’ve been thinking about adding to your flock (or starting one) now is the time to reach out!

We still have a limited selection of lambs, proven ewes, and even a few registered sheep available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. We won’t have more until next year’s lambing season.

🔹 Naturally raised on pasture
🔹 Veteran owned farm
🔹 Located in North Idaho

Send us a message to see what’s still available and let’s find the right fit for your pasture and goals!

Clear. Clean. Cross-fence. Seed.

That’s the rhythm of land stewardship around here - and our sheep are the real MVPs of the process.

We’re continually impressed by just how effective they are at restoring neglected ground. These girls cleared plants that even the goats wouldn’t touch, stripping everything they could reach - even standing on their hind legs to get it done.

Now it’s our turn to finish the job - clearing the dead timber, cross-fencing, and reseeding to build a healthier, more diverse pasture system.

This is natural pasture management in action: intentional grazing, good genetics, and a whole lot of hoof work.

If you’re looking to build a regenerative flock of your own, or bring in serious brush-clearing power, this is why we breed for both function and refinement.
Our sheep earn their keep - and then some.

Stay tuned for the before and after!
