The Flock
We never thought we’d have so many birds… but here we are! We have 15 at the moment. A mix of chickens; Rhode Island Red Rooster, Cinnamon queens & Wyandottes. And a mix of ducks; Khaki Campbell & Golden 300s. Aside from eggs for our/guest consumption & selling local, we’ve had a lot of success with ducklings so we are looking to breed more every year.
The Herd
In spring 2024, we added a herd of Katahdin sheep to manage our pastures. Through regenerative grazing, they control invasive grasses and help restore the land. This practice mimics natural grazing to improve soil health, increase plant diversity, and strengthen ecosystems. By rotating the sheep across different pastures, we allow plants to recover, which leads to healthier roots and soil. This approach reduces erosion, helps store carbon, and improves water drainage.
