Fidelis Fields Farm
Our Story
Fidelis Fields Farm is a veteran family owned farm which was established in 2019 after a 30 year career in the US Marines. Dave and Kristi Eskelund are the owners/operators. We are located in Siler City, NC. See our farm featured in Chatham Magazine: This Siler City Home is a Farm Lover's Dream.
Our family chose "small town America" in west Chatham County to build our family legacy farm. Our focus is in three main areas:
Family
Land - faithful stewards in management
Serving our local community
We currently use our 25 acre farm to harvest hay, grow free range chickens, and breed heritage Olde English Southdown Babydoll Sheep and Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs. These animals have brought our family great joy and we hope to spread that by offering the highest quality animals based on training, care, and breed standard.

Ragnar and Freja
Ragnar the Bold
Ragnar comes from an AKC breeder in NC and has retained the badger markings on his face in a way that gives him a very jolly look. He’s quite a people dog and adores our grandchildren and other children who visit the farm and give him attention. Although young, Ragnar especially enjoys being among the sheep he guards and has a special bond with our ram that enables us to put the two of them together when we need to separate the ram from the ewes. He teams very well with Ronia on patrol or on watch. He has a magnificent, deep bark that serves as a clear deterrent to would-be threats and perfectly suits his name.
Freja the Fearless
Our Great Pyrenees, Freja, joined the guard at Fidelis Fields in 2023 and we knew right away that we had struck gold in this guardian. Freja keeps a tight patrol on the road-facing fence line and served as a trusted nanny to our 2024 spring lambs. What we love about Freja is her smile when she recognizes a family member and her fierce posture when she’s vetting someone who is not a family member. She’s an excellent companion to Ragnar as she keeps an eye on the stock, and he watches the sky and the perimeter. Freja has also been a champ as a mother, whelping eleven puppies and keeping them all clean and warm and well-fed in the barn while still maintaining situational awareness in the pasture outside. Like I said, this girl is gold.
The New Barn
Our new barn was completed summer of 2023. A special thanks to Ralph Teague and his team. We built all the doors, put in electric, water, stalls and have it set up for our animals for the fall breeding season. Ready to welcome lambs in spring of '24!
