About Conway Family Farms

Established as an operating sustainable small-farm 20 years ago, Shaun & Lorrie Conway are continuing the tradition of maintaining a family farm. Daughters Ashley & Amber have been valuable partners working along side their parents in the building of the farm. Ashley & Amber share their parents passion for agriculture and have chosen to pursue agriculturally related college educations. In the fall of 2012, both girls began Graduate degrees; Ashley is working toward a Masters in Ruminant Nutrition after returning from 27 months of Peace Corps Service in Zambia, Africa, and Amber has started her journey toward a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (DVM).

Nestled in the rural hills of Fern Prairie, Washington, Conway Family Farms decorates the countryside with its striking grey barns and white traditional farmhouse. The farm operates on a modest 5 acres which offers grazing fields to support the livestock, the best blueberries in the area in a U-pick blueberry field and a variety of interconnecting other enterprises. The clean and tidy barns are home to more than 30 pampered Nubian Dairy goats—the ‘floppy-eared’ goats and a dozen beautiful Border Liecester sheep, which symbolize rural living at its very best.

At Conway Family Farm we focus on the old fashioned way of doing things, where each component of the farm helps another part.  We strive to produce only the finest quality products and take pride in offering them personally to individual consumers who seek unique quality food and homespun gift products.  To learn more about us personally, and how our farm began, please click here to enjoy our farm story.  If you would like to contact the farm, please see our Contact Us page.


Not Just Your Average Farm

Conway Family Farms is not just your average farm. At our family farm we have a love for the land and animals. We care about our surroundings, our neighbors and our customers.  Our herd of 30, well-cared for Nubian dairy goats provide delicious Grade ‘A’ Raw Goat Milk as well as delicious cheeses. We have been providing quality raw goat milk since 2004 and processing cheese commercially in our modest cheese processing facility since 2009. We are proud to be  producing exquisite fresh chèvré, in a variety of flavors, for all to enjoy.  In 2012 we added feta style cheese and have begun aging our own signature variety of pressed cheese.  It will be available for our customers in 2013.

   In addition to the dairy goats, we maintain a small flock of registered Border Leicester sheep.  The wool from the sheep is crafted into a variety of wonderful products and of course, each year provides us with a limited supply of all-natural, grass-fed lamb and goat meat.  As well as the sheep and goats, we maintain honeybees , a flock of laying hens and a small commercial U-Pick blueberry field.  The farm grounds are splashed by beautiful lavender gardens which provides fragrance in our hand-crafted soaps & lotions.  Each of these enterprises provide support and components to one another creating a sustainable unit.  

We take as much pride in the products produced from our farm as we do in the appearance of our farm making this a favorite for our customers.  Click here to get answers to frequently asked questions about the farm.

At our family farm everything that we produce is done the old-fashioned way. By caring for the land and surroundings it helps us produce the finest products possible. We hope that each of our customers will experience the satisfaction of building a stronger community by knowing where their food comes from and who the farmer is.

Our Commitment to the Highest-Quality Products

Shaun and Lorrie are continuing the family farming tradition because they have a passion for the land and animals. The farm is a sustainable farm. This means the farm is run in harmony with the land and the animals; no hormones, and no commercial fertilizers. Just pure and natural techniques that keep the goats healthy and happy and the dairy products wholesome and chemical free. It means that the cheese produced from Conway Family Farms; chèvré (in several different flavors), feta and aged pressed cheeses are pure and natural. And the best part? The cheeses taste great too.

"We do not farm for the money; it is the appeal of the lifestyle, an appreciation of the moments of calm while embracing those that are hectic and above all, it is a love of the land and animals."-Lorrie Conway
