A few years ago we didn’t have a farm. We weren't certain whether you really needed a rooster to get eggs or not. We certainly didn’t know how to shear sheep.
We lived in a downtown loft, which we hated. At some point during our one-millionth trek up four flights of stairs to take our dog out to play, we realized that where we were wasn’t really where we wanted to be. We longed for the open spaces we had enjoyed as children in rural America, for more space to play fetch with our Australian Shepherd, Charlie.
Where we ended-up next was more space than Charlie really needed, so we bought a couple backyard chickens. And then we bought a goat because he seemed nice, and then we got another because goats need to have companions, and then we figured that since we already had goats, it couldn’t hurt to have sheep, too. Pretty soon we had 30 chickens, 24 sheep, 4 dogs, a couple barn cats and an organic garden. And then we decided that what we really needed was a farm.
SkyPilot Farm & Creamery was previously the Haas Family Farm. The land where we are located has been a farm for over 100 years. It was placed under a conservation easement in 1977 to preserve local farmland. We are proud to carry on this tradition as the new owners and to provide you, our neighbors and local community, with healthier, safer and better tasting food.
Thanks for stopping by!
