We raise garden produce using intensive, non-certified organic methods with some elements of permaculture. The farmstead looks a lot like one your great-great grandparents might have lived on! Our goal is to feed ourselves and end up with a property that is in even better shape (for small scale agriculture) than when we moved here.
Our livestock include rabbits and llamas as well as the poultry we breed and sell as started birds: Midget White turkeys, Muscovy and Indian Runner ducks, and Buff Orpington chickens. Having lots of birds is a key to avoiding chemicals in our garden. Future plans include dairy goats, an apiary and expanded orchard.
