Profile

We offer a variety of animals such as cattle, goats, rabbits, chickens and dogs along with their byproducts. We try to stay as holistic as possible with all of our animals. We believe animals should be in the most natural state as possible. We try to mimic that with all of our animals. Our rabbits are colony raised instead of in cages.  We raise New Zealand Flemish giant crosses to produce a higher meat to bone ratio as well as a more hardy animal. Our goats and cattle are rotational grazers offered free choice hay baled locally and a little grain milled locally. We no not alter the cattle or goats in any way unless for castration purposes. Our chickens are raised in a large run. We wish to raise them free range but due to the large amounts of predators we are unable to.
