Tales from the farm
We are passionate about raising healthy, happy animals and cultivating delicious, sustainable food. Our focus is on quality over quantity, and we prioritize ethical practices throughout our farm. We raise Shetland sheep, kune kune pigs, rare breed chickens, heritage turkeys, quail, waterfowl and peafowl.
Our blog covers everything from farm-fresh recipes to practical tips like tanning rabbit pelts, offering a glimpse into the authentic family life on our farm.
