Farm Animals

We raise lots of animals on the farm for the same reason we grow cover crops, along with vegetables and herbs. We think they are necessary for the sustainable farm.

We have standard Jersey Cows. They are just beautiful and so sweet and the milk is fabulous...so is the cheese and yogurt, and butter. We have Shetland Sheep.
Their wool is just fabulous.

Little pigs are so cute and then they grow up...whoa! We have a dozen different breeds of laying hens for those incredible free range eggs and the guineas do their work eating the bugs...

... and a couple of real sporty Peacocks just for pure pleasure. And our 2 Great Pyrenees dogs are the perfect guardians for the farm, keeping all the predators away.
