The Animals

Wren and Lancelot strike fear into the hearts of any mice daring to call the barn home.  We hope.

Good egg layers but mostly they make us happy hanging around the barn and traveling everywhere together in a nice orderly row.

Kunekune pigs are a native species of New Zealand, noted for their upturned snouts and can be pasture raised.  They are phenomenally social animals, if not a little demanding at meal time.  These girls are our foundation animals for a growing swine.

Ducks in a row? We can get our chickens in a circle!  We have 6 flocks of hens who all free range, with over a dozen different varieties represented. Delicious multi-colored eggs.

Beggar, dressed in white, is a retired school horse and has been the first horse ridden for many, many kids.  Bubba is a retired racehorse who is still capable of some get up and go.  Both enjoy a quieter life on pasture now but enjoy the occassional ride.

While perhaps not natures most gifted creatures, these guys work hard.  They move up and down the farm searching for bugs and ticks in the pasture, and have a knack of arriving at each chicken coop right at feeding time.

Buckridge is our boar and Sawyer is his barrow buddy.  These guys love attention and know that manners are important at meal time.  They'll show off their tusks for a leafy treat.

Meet Breezy and Ella, our two mares.  They're both retired school horses.  Breezy is a chestnut curly and Ella an American Quarter Horse Paint.

Meet Arnold Palmer and Richie McCaw -  two GOATS; but specifically our Nigerian Dwarf Goats.  Funny guys who like attention but get easily distracted play fighting.  

This is Cole [Slaw], our Heritage Bronze Turkey, showing off for his ladies.  They're never far behind wherever you go on the farm; except in November.  Not sure why they hide then.

This is Evie (right) and her daughter Daisy.  They came to us from a neighbor in 2023.  They're about 3' at full stretch but stare longingly at Bubba the thoroughbred.
