Sometimes it's a hike thru fields, creeks and forest to view our animals on their paddock, but always worth it.
Early in the day, hear from Fred, before farm work expends his energy .
Quince bloom in March/ April, part of our biodiversity. Happy bees!!
There are numerous fungi that call our farm home, enjoyable to discover & learn about, in a wet year.
Getting close to animals, seeing them thrive. Exciting!
Guinees add to biodiversity and help the balance of bugs. Interesting to watch and hear.
Not too many jobs for the tractor, but you may get to see it in action. Super fun for kiddos! 
Love to talk growing all sorts of produce. Let's swap tips.
Brooklyn Hills is a special place. We do hope your visit finds you as much at peace here as we have been..
Let's keep it clean, local, seasonal, as best we can manage..
Our cattle, sheep, goats & pigs are free to roam in their paddocks that shift frequently. We rarely give treats so they don't act like pets or pests. Our kiddos can handle a few, but yours probably should not, unless invited to do so.
On farm events are fun for us and our family. Sharing our real life experiences helps build trust, form relationships & deepen appreciation for this dynamic creation surrounding us all.
Docile yet protective, approach calmly & quietly. Do remember that the wire is electrified, it should be HOT!
But we may be having some folks out for sledding and fire side sitting. We do have some hills!
