Tom Kitty

We have officially been adopted by a stray cat that we call Tom Kitty.    He gets along with the other animals.    He has to be in the middle of everything going on outside.     Tom Kitty is very tame he must have been someone else’s pet before he moved in with us. 

 

 

 Linus

Linus continues to grow.  He is no longer a baby.    We occasionally take him to the local farmers market on “Kids Day”.   He enjoys the attention.    Linus had an accident and lost vision in one eye. But it doesn’t seem to bother him. 

 

Along with the sheep we have Honey Bees and Chickens.    The bees help pollinate the garden and flowers.  The chickens help with insect pests along with providing plenty of eggs.  

BEES

We have had a hive of bees for several years.    Each year getting enough honey to supply the family and some to sell.      If you are interested in purchasing honey please contact us.    Most years we manage to catch a swarm of bees.  This year we have a first…. bees moved into our garage.  Phillip had stored hive boxes in the garage.   One swarm decided to move right in… AirBee&Bee!

   

CHICKENS

Our chicken flock consists of multiple breeds that are often allowed to roam the farm. They produce wonderful brown eggs which a rich golden yolk.

We do sell eggs locally to the Frankfort, KY area.  Feel free to reach out if you are interested in purchasing eggs.

This spring we purchased few new chicks, Swedish Flower, Buckeye, and Erimettes.  Looking forward to seeing their colors as they grow.  

ANDY

I realized that nowhere on the site was any mention of Andy!   Andy is our guard llama.   He does a wonderful job protecting our sheep.    While not necessarily a pet…. he is far from wild.    Curious by nature he is always on guard.   Sometimes he will put the ewes in the barn if he senses something is amiss.     Lambs like to stay with him for protection and will walk underneath him.

Andy likes to have his photo taken!

Chesney and Sally

And of course, we have a couple of farm dogs. Chesney , a mixed breed, and Sally, English Shepherd. They watch over the farm.
