MEET THE SUNDOG VALLEY FARMS FAMILY
JANIS
Originally hailing from South Florida, Janis has lived in Oregon for the majority of her life. Most of the day-to-day farm work falls to her, but when Janis isn't working on the farm, she is also a romance novelist, an avid reader, a video game lover, and spends time experimenting with ingredients to create her own recipes.
DANIEL
An Oregon native, Daniel developed a love of the land as a child on his great-grandparents's homestead. When he's not working outdoors or on the computer at his day job, Daniel can probably be found watching YouTube videos of other farmers to learn from their experiences.
MARY AND BOB
While they don't physically pitch in on the farm, Mary and Bob Ward have played a vital part from the beginning in helping to make the homestead a reality.
TEMPEST AND BUSTER
This is who you wanted to see, right? Three-year-old Tempest is an excellent herder and guard dog. Two-year-old Buster is... well, he's our unofficial taste tester. Little dude eats everything.
Ollie and Smoaky
We are dog lovers at heart and were thrilled to add some gorgeous livestock guardian dogs to protect our herd. Smoaky is a purebred karakachan who is training her way up to be a partner to Ollie, our Maremma/Great Pyrenesse mix. Both live full-time with our livestock to help protect them from predators, which are prevalent where we live.
