Also on the Farm
In addition to raising mini cows and goats, we also raise chickens, rabbits, quail, ducks, horses, and the sweetest pigs: Mr Hamilton and Eleanor.
It's no surprise people are drawn to country living. Even those who live in the "city", when they come visit our farm, the most common statement we hear is "It's so nice out here!" And our definition of "nice" that they are talking about is peaceful, quiet, and relaxing - to name a few. The idea of farm living, homesteading, and raising farm animals as pets has become more and more popular the past few years. And with good reason since rural, country living is fun and has great benefits for the whole family!
Did you know that studies show that raising farm animals keeps you happier and healthier?
Just a few benefits of keeping farm animals are:
* Lower stress levels
* Better immunity health
* Improved physical health

Chickens are a must for any homestead or hobby farm. They are the perfect starter animal. They are hardy and low maintenance. We love getting fresh eggs daily.
Ducks

We have grown to love backyard ducks. We love watching them gobble their food, splash in their water and waddle around the yard. They give us delicious eggs too!
Rabbits

Our rabbits are sweet, cuddly and love it when we give them extra treats such as lettuce, fruit and hay.
Quail

Rabbits
Raising quail is similar to chickens, but with a few differences. Quail are much smaller, so their eggs are small (but high in nutrients) and they require less space. Quail are also great for meat. We hatched 12 eggs right here on the farm!
