28 years ago I came by my first chickens, at the age of 7. Since then I've learned a lot about them and the flock gets more refined and focused with every year. Our care practices have evolved as we continue to learn more about diet and nutritional needs and the genetics that make a good all around chicken. Turkeys came into play a couple of years ago, we love them!

We also have guard dogs, in the form of German Shepherds as well as 2 pet pigs and the token cat. We garden extensively, with some plants here just for the birds.

We try to live a more natural and sustainable lifestyle, without totally forsaking the modern amenities. Our poultry have a purpose, though we do appreciate an ornamental look.
