"Scarlett" Our Pot Bellied
Pig
Scarlet is our 7
year old pot bellied pig. She runs free around the property, eating plants (especially the ones you
can't wait to bloom...uhh) and anything
else in her path. Her excuse? She is
very clear, "It is [her] Yard"!
When she finishes her morning grazing, you can
find her lying around sun bathing. She has her very
own pig house (named Tara of course) next door to
our main barn. Sometimes she walks around the deck
of the house just waiting on a treat. You never know
where she will pop up next; but, you can always
count on her being in the main barn at least two
times daily, promptly at feed time
(oink...oink).
Muscovy
Ducks
We enjoy our ducks! They float
and fly around our pond, creeks, pasture
and yard. The most beautiful site is watching them
as they fly from the pasture, landing in the
surrounding waters. The group unity and solid white color (coupled with the
whipping of their wings) and the carefully guided landings is just
amazing! During spring we have little yellow baby ducks running around everywhere.

Great Pyreenes Dogs
Problem: Coyotes. .
. Solution: Great Pyreenes
Dogs! Wonderful guard dogs and
even better pets! Since adopting two gentle
giants, all is well. Haven't lost a
duck yet! You would think these dogs were born and raised here. They
both have a very important job to protect our farm
and they take their job very seriously. King and Lady
have quickly become part of our
family.
Barn Cat "Max"
Our
frisky, feline, friend Max was rescued early 2006. He
eats, sleeps, and plays with the
mice.
