The Michael Family works and protects 60+ acres of farm and garden land in Monroe, NC. We keep pure-bred herds of Jersey cows, Nubian goats, Dorper sheep, Leicester Longwool sheep, Yorkshire pigs and Rhode Island Red hens. We produce grains, hay, all manner of fruits and vegetables and ornamental flowers. We maintain our own dairy with fresh milk, butter, cheese and yogurt. We offer camps and educational tours for all interested in learning traditional farming methods within a Catholic Christian understanding of community life.
