MEET YOUR FARMER

Cat Sieh, owner/shepherd  

I believe the deepest form of respect we can offer an animal is to steward its life well, grieve its death honestly, and waste none of what it gives us.

I’m a first-generation farmer, and the owner/operator/resident shepherdboy behind Legacy Lamb — a small, 100% grass-fed Icelandic sheep farm focused on ecological land management and reverent whole-animal use.

That means using every part with care and purpose: wool, meat, skins, tallow, bones, organs, skulls, and more. I believe whole-animal use is both practical and sacred — an ancient relationship built on responsibility, reciprocity, and refusing to treat life as disposable. 

This farm exists because I care deeply about the relationship between animals, land, and people. I want you to know where your food came from, how the animal lived, and why thoughtful grazing matters. Sheep are not just livestock here — they help build soil, cycle nutrients, improve pasture health, and restore damaged ground.

At some point I’ll probably corner you to explain why grazing ruminants are one of the best tools we have for improving soil fertility, increasing water retention, supporting biodiversity, and storing carbon. 

I’m also obsessed with integrating trees into livestock systems. In addition to pasture, my flock browses “tree fodder” species like willow, poplar, mulberry, and black locust. These trees provide nutritious forage, natural parasite support, shade, and shelter while making farm landscapes more resilient and diverse.

Thanks for stoppin' by!
