While we love our animals, and treat them royally, the animals here are also productive members of the farm. The guinea hens and pea fowl, for instance, eat ticks as they graze the farm’s orchard and pastures; the hens lay delicious eggs year-round; the goats produce thousands of gallons of fresh milk every year; the llamas offer protection to the sheep with which they share a pasture; while all the sheep provide fleece for spinning into yarn. And, of course, the honeybees provide honey! Read more about our livestock family.
