JERSEY COW

June was our very first calf, born on the first day of June, and she was bottle fed by us for many months. She became part of the family and is now one of the most patient cows you could hope for, and even comes to her name. June is smaller in size, sired by a mini jersey, but she is a wonderful family milk cow and is the queen of the farm!

JERSEY COW

Brina is another jersey we raised from calf to cow and she just had her first calf of her own last year. She is also smaller in stature from miniature jersey bloodlines. She was born in December, in northern Alberta during an extreme cold warning, and lost the tips of her ears due to frostbite - but it adds to her adorable charm! Her name means ‘frost’ in Italian.

KUNEKUNE BOAR

Pot of Gold has a unique name given to him by our children. He is our breeding boar and one of a handful of purebred kunekune pigs on our farm. He is very gentle and enjoys scratches. Kunekunes are renowned for their docile and friendly personalities, they love human interaction and are easy to handle, so we can even trust our mature boar to behave himself.

NUBIAN DOE

Sparkle is a goat that was bottle raised by the kids. She is so friendly and personable now I think she would prefer to live in the house with us. We have recently begun training her to become a milk goat with the hopes that soon the kids will be able to do the job, start to finish, all on their own.

ASSORTED

We will always have a few friendly rabbits on the farm to pet, and occasionally we have litters of babies or juveniles to hold and cuddle! One of our more specialty breeds is the English Lop - known for having the longest ears and also for being very laid back and friendly.

ASSORTED

We recently acquired a few sheep! This is our first year with them. We have two blackbelly ewes and a blackbelly ram - who is very gentle - as well as one katahdin ewe. They are all “hair sheep” which means they naturally shed their wool out in the spring so we do not have to shear them.
