The Black Cat(s)

Yes, there is a black cat.
In fact, there are several. Years ago, we rescued our first black cat from the Lowe's garden center - and we were hooked.  We all agreed that if we ever had the room for it, we would rescue more.  And here we are.  There are currently six - plus three other honorary ​black cats.

The Chickens

We raise Buff Orpington chickens exclusively here on the farm.   We raise far too many to give each of them individual names these days, but there are always those that stand out - such as Puddle Chicken and Jean Jacques Roosteau.

ABOUT OUR FLOCK

The Donkey Posse

Everyone needs a donkey - or at least a mini-donkey - in their lives.  That's the first rule.  The second rule is that one donkey is never enough. Our herd consists of five Mediterranean donkeys who are the stars of our farm. We love them and all of their excesses of personality immensely.

The Goose Army

Our daughter, Emily, raises African Geese like nobody's business.  She is so good at it that we struggle to keep the flock at a reasonable number. But make no mistake - Emily knows every one of them by name and can recognize them at a distance by their individual honks.

The Goats

We have raised various breeds and various numbers of goats throughout our time here, but at the beginning of 2019 we sold our goat herd - keeping only one at the request of our son, Peter.  A couple of months later, Peter had two goats.  We anticipate more in the future because we apparently cannot live without goats.

Lionhead Rabbits

Our daughter, Yvonne, is in charge of the LeChat Noir Rabbitry and raises pedigreed Lionhead Rabbits. They are not heritage breed animals, but they are far too fluffy to hold that against them.

The Peafowl Family

We have a pair of free-range adult peafowl who roam our place with their three peachicks in tow.  We were not sure what to expect when we acquired our pair of peacocks, but today we all agree that they have become one of our favorite additions to our farm.

The Dogs

We truly love our two German Shepherds. They contribute nothing to our farm other than copious amounts of slobber and fur - and their unmatched love and devotion.
