Give

As some of you know, the past year has been very difficult. We have had to care for my dad, who is now in a nursing home. We have had damage to both our home and greenhouse by severe weather. Insurance refused to pay the full repair cost, then cancelled us. Keeping the farm and the livestock going has been hard, let alone trying to feed the wild animals. Most of the year the feeders have been bare leaving them to rely on wild food. I know things are not easy for anyone right now. If you can help, please do, if not, that is ok too. Anything is appreciated! Thank you and may you have a very happy 2011.

Sugar's baby hiding underneath her tummy.

Born on July 28, 2010 to Sugar, this baby goat still needs a name. This has been a crazy summer and naming the goats has not been a top priority. He is up for sale, so that has been another reason why I have not chosen a name for him. Suggestions are welcome!

He is an alpine/nubian/angora cross.

J-ewe-l was the first sheep born on the property. She arrived on May 9, 2010 – which was Mother’s Day and Jerry’s birthday. She was a healthy, happy lamb. We lost her mother, Black Pearl, due to heat stroke and shortly thereafter lost J-ewe-l when lighting struck her.
