I'm the "new" girl on the block, having come to the farm as a 2.5-year-old in March of 2024, and am settling in nicely. I used to be called Zahara, or "Z" for short, but Mom and Dad changed my name to Maeve. I think it's pretty cool and befitting of my Scottish Highland pedigree. Because of my horns, I won't be a cuddler, but will hopeful
I'm the "new" girl on the block, having come to the farm as a 2.5-year-old in March of 2024, and am settling in nicely. I used to be called Zahara, or "Z" for short, but Mom and Dad changed my name to Maeve. I think it's pretty cool and befitting of my Scottish Highland pedigree. Because of my horns, I won't be a cuddler, but will hopefully become a mom to help build the foundation of beautiful, healthy, mini-Highland cows at the farm!
My name is Caramel, I'm a Jersey girl with a silly personality that makes everyone smile. I also have the best make-up and hairdo around. I love going for walks and kicking up my hooves, bothering my fellow cow-mates, getting into trouble, and being an adorable pain in the behind.
My ear tag may have my old name of "Beef Cake" but I now go by Tinkerbell, or Tink for short. I'm an Angus Holstein cross like Lilly. My resting cow face matches my "bull in a china shop" demeanor, and I prefer to hang with my fellow cows. I may come say "hi" to you, but otherwise, I'll just stare at you from across the way.
We have a mix of sheep types, but their names are Big Boy (M), Seymour (M), Pepper (F), Tater (F), Socks (M) and Mittens (F). They are very sweet and we've been working with our newest lambs, Socks and Mittens (pictured) to--hopefully--start offering lamb snuggles at some point!
Like the sheep, we have a variety of breeds, many of which are super friendly! The boys, save for a few babies still in with their moms, are in the hut by the cow pasture, and the girls and babies are in the hut near the greenhouse. Oscar (pictured) had a rough start and was half-raised inside, so he's more dog than goat. You may see him

Oscar (pictured) had a rough start and was half-raised inside, so he's more dog than goat. You may see him around the farm greeting people and eating whatever he can. Feel free to give him some pets--he'll probably jump up and put his hooves on your leg like a dog. We also hope to offer goat cuddles down the line, too!
We purchased chicks for the farm in the summer of 2023--a mix of Marans (who lay green/blue/gray/light brown eggs--soooo, probably not Marans), Buff Orpingtons, and Olive Eggers (which ended up being bantams who lay small, cream-colored eggs). In the spring of 2024, we added Midnight Majesty Marans, Prairie Bluebell Eggers, Lavender Orpin

In the spring of 2024, we added Midnight Majesty Marans, Prairie Bluebell Eggers, Lavender Orpingtons, Blue Laced Gold Wyandottes, Black Minorcas, one Mystic Onyx (Brian couldn't leave her behind), and a variety of Turkey breeds. You'll probably see them peeking out of their coop door or scratching around in their run if you walk around before/after your appointment.
We also have two Buff Orpington roosters, Diego & Santiago (the Rodrigo Brothers), who free-range. They will follow you around, Santiago especially--he's the adventurer--and are very friendly, but please do NOT chase or antagonize them! Santiago will peck you if you bother him and either one can/will defend themselves if needed.
