About Us
Omega Farms is located near Noti, Oregon (between Eugene and Florence) and consists of almost 400 acres of farm and forest land. Our goal is to provide horse owners a respectful and economical choice in taking care of their equine friends after they die. We understand first hand how difficult these arrangements can be and strive to make the process as smooth as possible.
Before embarking on the adventure of running this business we had 2 mares in their 30’s. When the vet was out for some routine care we questioned him about knowing when it was “time.” Since we had ample ground and even a backhoe it wasn’t an issue as to what we would do afterward, but we asked him what other people do. He said there were not many choices in our area and went on to suggest that maybe we could offer people an alternative. What a crazy idea! - or was it?
By the time we had the business set up, those 2 mares were both gone, but not far, and we have been burying horses for clients in the Lane County area since 2004. While each horse is buried individually, it is not a cemetery per se as there are no grave makers, but the general area can be referenced if owners would like to visit.
The area is eventually returned to farm use as pasture or hay ground. We adhere to all state and local laws regarding the transportation and burial of animals. The horses are not altered in any way except the removal of shoes when necessary.
A portion of the proceeds from each animal that we bury goes toward helping those living in extreme poverty. We provide scholarships for needy children and also support the digging of clean water wells in the west African country of Burkina Faso, as well as other humanitarian efforts as we feel led.
