Several folks have been writing talk about the farms that are available. Just the other day, we found 30+ acres with a view of water that has a plateau of 20 acres. Bob just does not get excited about real estate since he is in it every day or have seen so much. This got him excited where he could finally build that house he has always wanted with the walk out on the water, two story with the best open floor plan we have seen yet. The walk out basement will be his play room and office. He is so excited about this.

Plus its enough room to have an active small farm going for horses, small herd of cows or sheep and certainly big enough for alpaca’s … So here are some of those animals you could manage on a small farm…

Genny Hens … great for eating those ugly bugs that no one wants either in your house or on your land. Great to have to eat snails so Alpaca’s don’t eat them and get sick. Great to be the early warning system of something different on the farm.

How about the other feather friends like the Goose (dark feathers) for that special meal each year like X-Mas. Or those Pekin ducks (all white) that provide a good meal or are fun to watch that eat lots of grass around the farm. Great to have with water or wet lands …quak!

Lets not forget about those egg laying feathered ones who love to clean and scratch the ground making it bug less. As a result giving you the fresh morning farm eggs cooking on the stove. We use Araucana chickens for their eggs and pretty colored eggs.

These are pygmy goats and this lovely girl is Tilly. She has black streak runing down her back with black marks around her eyes. She loves to eat pears and rabbit pellets. So beware when you feed the rabbits.


You can see the new barn is test driven by Tilley in front and Pearl behind her eating so sweet feed.

And don’t forget about Mr. Frodo Baggins who is the boy friend to Tilley and Pearl. Guess what is coming in the spring …

And don’t forget about the farm dog, Maddie girl, who as a 12 month old Mastiff. She is extremely playful and a great watch dog for the farm. She heards the birds and goats back into the barn yard when they get out.

Must go, we have 20+ houses to look at this day … my buyers are a buying trip … should be a good day for all who is involved.
