welcome to our farm

Grey Ghost Farm is a small family farm at Baker Creek, British Columbia. We provide naturally raised lamb, beef and produce.

We mostly raise South African Dorpers, mixed in with a few commercial ewes. The Dorper sheep was bred by the Department of Agriculture of South Africa when they crossed Dorset Horn Rams and Blackhead Persian ewes. From this humble beginning, the breed proved itself as hardy mutton sheep with a top quality, minimal-fat carcass at a relatively early age and the most sought after sheepskin in the world.

Known primarily for their fertility, hardiness, and long breeding season, the Dorper are a great sustainable farm breed. They’re exceptionally adaptable to various climates and environments; at our farm, the lambs grow well, in part because of the ewes’ excellent mothering skills and milk production.

The Flock

The Grey Ghost Farm sheep are part of our family as well. Every one has a name, and the ladies are quite friendly, enjoying a good scratch where they can’t reach. Beyond being the reason for our farm, they also take care of lawn mowing, weed control, and weekend entertainment.
