About Sinclair Family Farm
Since 1992, Karin and Keith Sinclair, along with their children, have lived in Placer County. In 1998 their daughter’s choice for her 4H project got the family involved with producing sheep.
Raising Sheep was Totally New to Us!
Keith grew up in Sacramento County and raised cattle. Karin grew up in El Dorado County and had horses. At first, the sheep were a little unknown but they soon became a family owned and operated business! They still have their original breed of Registered Dorset sheep, and have added some Hampshire breeding, along with a commercial flock of Cheviot sheep, Polypay sheep and Dorper sheep. In August 2009 they purchased CC Family Farms and began their adventure with eggs. Starting with the original 450 laying hens, they have added layers to the flock and have also added meat birds. All are fed an organic feed and when big enough, the young birds head out to the pasture to graze.
Where You Can Find Sinclair Family Farm Product.
Currently Sinclair Family Farm is selling direct from the farm in individual cuts frozen and vacuum packed. They also sell their lamb by the half or whole. Eggs are sold by the carton, flat and case. You can find Sinclair Family Farm product at local produce stores, like the Blue Goose in Loomis and Newcastle Produce in Newcastle. Our products are also available at Briar Patch Community Market, Confluence Kitchen, and Whole Foods Market.
In the future they are looking forward to opening their farm to school classrooms and families so they can share the excitement and their experience of raising sheep and chickens.
