Oregon The yaks of Eden Ridge Ranch
We love yaks
Our herd roams meadows and forests overlooking the Grande Ronde River canyon in Wallowa County. All the yaks have names and different personalities. From epic diva to aloof oddball, we love them all! Our breeding program focuses on sound temperament and conformation, size, fiber production, beauty and resilience.
The herd lives an organic life and never receive growth hormones. At Firebird Farms, we embrace the full circle of life, harvesting those who do not fit our breeding standards for their incredible meat.

Our Farm
Our herd is located at Eden Ridge Ranch, Wallowa County
Eden is a forgotten pioneer hamlet, overlooking a steep river canyon. We are now the last homestead that remains. This ranch has been in the same family for 124 years. We are honored to carry the torch of stewardship of this land, filled with antique apple trees, an historic cemetery and reminders of another time. Rich wildlife and hunting grounds surround us. We and the yaks enjoy the serenity and splendor of the wild.
Ethically raised
For breeding stock, meat, fiber arts or just enjoyment on your farm, we have the yaks for you.
No animal is the same. They are as different as us humans. We average 150 yaks in our herd of bulls, cows, heifers, calves, and steers. We understand the importance of making an impression from birth. Many of our yaks are tame due to the attention we give each cow and calf. We take care in placing the right animals in their new homes.
Choice of chefs
A premium and unique red meat, yak is an excellent option for the home and professional kitchen.
You’ll bring new life to your menu and home table with the introduction of yak meat. Yak is a lean, juicy, primitive red meat with a delicate flavor. Our yak products are grass-fed, added-hormone & antibiotic free. A nutrient-rich food high in iron and essential fatty acids, yak is as healthy as it is delicious.
How we started
Since I was a little girl I wanted to have a farm.
I wanted to create a place where people could connect with the natural environment in a way we seldom do in our modern world. I wanted people to see something real and beautiful. Something we almost forgot, but have held within us and want to experience more.
