I can't speak for further up the peninsula, but the nearest sheep to me in San Jose is almost certainly at Emma Prusch Farm Park (http://www.pruschfarmpark.org/ http://www.pruschfarmpark.org/), which like the city farms mentioned in the blog, is a nonprofit farm in the middle-ish of the city. Depending where you live in SJ, though, you may be closer to Happy Hollow Park & Zoo[2], which also has sheep. From there you get into actual farms, and there are at least two within a few miles: Ray of Sunshine Farm in Almaden Valley (mostly focus on produce & goat cheese, but do have sheep): https://www.rayofsunshinefarm.com/ https://www.rayofsunshinefarm.com/ and Deer Hollow Farm in Cupertino (another non-profit): https://deerhollowfarmfriends.org/ https://deerhollowfarmfriends.org/ From there, there are a bunch more sheep farms heading south toward Gilroy & Hollister, but that's getting a bit too far afield. Frankly, I'm actually surprised there were so many civic farms in the south bay. That said, for south & east bay folks, I think it would be a lot more interesting to track the roaming herds of goats used to keep dry grass & brush to a minimum in fire hazard areas.
