Welcome to our farm!

Welcome to our farm. We are a small family owned farm located in the Dutch Hill area. Here is a view of our farm taken in January 2010:

At that time, the only occupants were moles, as far as we could tell. The first animals we introduced in the farm were a flock of laying hens that we had prior to moving into the farm. Unfortunately, the coyotes took care of the hens before we had a chance to take pictures. After securing the fence, we got a new flock:
Here, our Grandson is holding one of the chicks:

Here is the whole flock, in our home made brooder:

We also have two goats, Ziggy (buck, black and white) and Poppy (doe):

Sometimes, we have visitors:

More occupants came later to the farm. We now have ducks, geese, broilers, bees, and even a pair of peacock chicks. We also have two cats: Kalie, and Attila. They have learned to hunt for their food on the farm, Kalie on the field, Attila in the barn. We also discovered long time residents, such as a salamander, and a small colony of bats. More pictures to come!
