FAQS
Can we volunteer on the farm?
We would gladly allow volunteers on the farm. Farm animals are a lot of work so extra hands are always appreciated. We would just have you sign a waiver since there are horses and other livestock on the premises which have minds of their own. We would gladly go over things with you if you don't have much experience and are interested in learning.
How are your dogs with strangers?
Our dogs are all bark-no-action when it comes to strangers as long as you aren't threatening them or their charges. They will bark at you to let you know they are there until they get to know you. They may be big and look intimidating but they really are big sweethearts especially once they get to know you.
Are the chickens and ducks organic?
While they do eat their natural forage being pasture-raised, they do not get organic feed. So they can't be considered organic. When it comes to classifying eggs as organic all aspects from the food they eat, where you get the birds, and the bedding you use must be certified organic by the USDA, and tight records must be kept.
What do you grow?
Depending on the season and the amount of help we have for the planting season, we can either have a big-sized garden or a smaller scaled one. For the bigger scale gardens, we usually plant tomatoes (plum, beefsteak), peppers (green, red), green beans, basil, cucumbers, and melons (watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew). For the smaller scaled gardens, we tend to do tomatoes (plum or cherry only), peppers, cucumbers, and some potatoes.
