Our Gardens
We enjoy spending hours in the gardens and the grounds of the farm. We designed and built a large flower garden copied from a late 18th-century kitchen garden that blooms from March to October. It graces us with every color in the spectrum and never seems to disappoint in any season. Situated behind the flower garden is an herb garden and a vegetable garden. We gratefully use the produce and herbs for cooking or entertaining.
Our Story
The farm currently raises a heritage breed of sheep, Leicester Longwools, and Angora goats that graze on the area's rolling hills. Their fleeces are processed into lustrous, beautiful yarns. As first-time shepherds, this endeavor has been a great way to develop new skills and knowledge of livestock and farming. Our sense of humor has remained intact.
The farm had been without sheep for a few years, so we decided to research which breed of sheep would best fit the terrain, local climate, and our needs. The chosen Leicester Longwool Sheep have proven a clear winner. These animals do exceptionally well in our area. The Angora goats arrived by accident when a friend offered us two goats to determine their suitability for the farm and us. The goats have stayed on, multiplied, and proven a great source of Angora wool to blend with the wool of the sheep into wonderfully lustrous yarn.
