We are raising two small batches of meat chickens this year. The first will be available around mid-June and the second in late-October. Please let us know if you would like some for your family. We raise small batches to keep numbers more manageable and to give all the freedom to move about without crowds. Our ducks and geese enjoy the large two acre pond on our property. We have two pond bubbliers running throughout the year. In the winter, these bubblers keep the pond open for them to enjoy. They are available for anyone who want to purchase them live. |

In the last few years, we have worked towards a premium meat sheep that fattens on grass by mimicing the three-tier system used by the British. This system starts with a hill breed (like Shetland and Icelandic) and bred the ewe with a Bluefaced Leicester ram. The ewe offsprings from that pairing are bred to a heavy meat breed like a Texel. The results: lambs that are tender and great tasting because they are fatten on grass. |
