Our events include goat yoga, horse and goat snuggles, morning yoga on the farm, mini retreats for healing, and private healing sessions. Our passion is sharing our amazing animals with people and the relaxation, love, and joy they bring. We hope to

heal the world one visitor at a time :)

We have goats, sheep, horses, pigs, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats. We operate like a non-profit, but don't have that status yet. We are a no kill farm and are trying to be the forever home for as many of our animals as we can. We also host summer camps for kids and are working on some new programs coming in 2022. Consider following our social media, and donating through our Patreon. www.patreon.com/averyfamilyfarm
We have lots of donation levels with many different benefits. Including one with access to lots of healing videos and tools. Your monthly donations (no matter how big or small) help us continue to feed and home our animals, and provide assistance for programs to those who don't have the income for much needed healing.

🌸 1. Take a break. Even when it's hard. Or maybe especially when it's hard. 5 min of "chewing your cud" can make all the difference.

💧 2. Water is the nectar of life and has magical properties to make everything feel better.

😴 3. Always make time for eating and sleeping. Refueling and resetting help you jump higher!

🫂 4. Time with a friend heals both hearts at once. Nothing beats a good hug.

🐐 5. Goats are my therapy. Whether it's just been a long day or something challenging is happening, they never fail to make me smile, laugh,and know I am loved!

Come join me and let these guys brighten your day too!

"RAIN RAIN we love you, you can stay long as you want to"🎵
Don't mind me singing my rain song over here 😂

Months....it's been months since we had rain.

It has blessed us every day this week!

The grass went from about 3 in. to feet in days. So so grateful!!!!

The garden is happy now and we are actually getting vegetables!

Our herbs are growing for our teas.

Truly can't say how grateful I am for this rain 🌦

Hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.

I'll post a video soon of how absolutely insanely low Falls Lake is over here right now.

We were blown away when we visited the Red Wolf area of the Museum of Life and Science this week.

We were watching the pups in the den on the camera they have, when all of a sudden all 5 pups came out looking for their mom Carolina and started drinking from her.

Fun Facts:
🐺 Red wolves are native to the Southeast US

🐺 They were declared extinct in the wild in 1980

🐺 But thanks to captive breeding programs like the one at the museum, and monitored, controlled release back into the wild, they are now critically endangered
(less than 300 individuals combined between the wild and captivity)

🐺 NC has the only wild recovery area for them in the Eastern part of the state.

🌟Carolina was born at the museum in 2019

🌟 Her partner is Jacques and we got to see him looking on from a perch, then playing with some of the pups that climbed up to see him.

⭐️The best time of day to see them at the museum is first thing in the morning when they open, or in the evening right before they close.

⭐️The museum has successfully helped breed litters in 8 different years since they got their first red wolf in 1992.

⭐️This is the 3rd consecutive year of successful breeding (so incredibly grateful to have seen all 3 litters in person)

You can read more about the red wolves and help support their care and rehabilitation at the museum's website (link in their profile)

🌱Also NC is considering a red wold license plate that will help support conservation efforts!
If you want to sign up for more info, click on the link tree link in the museum's profile or on the link in our repost from Aspen S.

💜Another amazing homeschool field trip thanks to the Museum of Life and Science in Durham.

Nutmeg has the best flehmen response!!! She never fails to detect interesting smells 👃

Fun facts:
🐐 The flehmen response is when an animal lifts their lip and pulls air across their Jacobson's organ located in the mouth, usually to detect pheromones.
⭐️The Jacobson's organ is also called the vomeronsal organ (VNO)
🐐 Some animals that have Jacobson's organs are goats, sheep, big cats like tigers, domesticated cats, horses, all snakes and lizards, painted turtles, elephants, mice, salamanders, lemurs, and more!
🤷‍♀️humans have the remnants of the organ but it is non-functional (too bad for us)

Do you or kids you know like cool facts about animals? Cordelia and I are starting a new piece to our podcast called Big Question episodes. Our first one is about the digestive system in humans, chickens, and goats. Coming up soon we will explore things like the Jacobson's organ, and eyesight for animals.

Check it out free on Spotify, Amazon Music, I Heart Radio, and Apple podcasts. It's called Learning on the Farm

Have an awesome smell good kinda day! 💜

It was all smiles here last weekend. Truffle is ready for more!

Get outside

Enjoy the sunshine. (Morning time and dusk are so beautiful right now!)

Join us or take time for you.

Reconnect with nature and yourself.

Let go of the stress from the week.

Everyone deserves a slower pace, a deeper breath, a longer exhale, and connection.

Cordelia and I had a blast on our field trip to Springhaven Farm (check out all the great photos).

P.s. the alpaca sneeze was on me not Cordelia. We thankfully didn't get a picture of that 😋

The staff was awesome, friendly, and kind. And the animals were fun, adorable, and seemed genuinely happy. The farm was clean, well maintained, big, and beautiful.

Our farm and their's are different in all the best ways, so we were able to really enjoy lots of things we don't get the opportunity to do here.

Like hug a baby goat, and hand feed animals. Plus there were things we didn't get to try like gem mining, and mini golf, so we have to go back 😁

Both their farm and ours have a deep love of animals and getting folks outside and enjoying farm life.

It's a great place for kids and families. And if you are an adult that adores farm animals you will love it too!

I vote you visit both farms!

For entertainment, lots of animals and space, hand feeding, and extra activities check out Springhaven.

For relaxation, chill atmosphere, small group unique experience, and snuggly goats that lay in your lap come here.

It's a win win!

All I know is we are lucky to live in ! So many fun things to do within 30 min.

The , , , tons of beautiful hiking trails along the Eno River and Falls Lake, and of course us here at 💕

Where should our next field trip take us?

Potato was loving her humans but feeling lonely for a chicken friend.

Anytime we would need to do other things she would call out for us (chicken siren style....iykyk 😂)

In all the snake drama that caused the original issues with hatching, Lentil had been stolen from her mom by our other momma hen.

She didn't seem super attached to the new mom, and would often be a little further away than the other babies.

So I picked her up (without a peep), and took her to meet Potato.

At first they were unsure about each other. Especially Potato. Lentil mostly just settled right in as if she'd always been in the brooder 😍

But Potato had only been around humans so wasn't quite sure.

The chicken siren stopped though, and she was much less bothered when we had to leave the room.

Within hours they were eating and drinking together, playing on us, and taking naps together.

A beautiful friendship is blooming and I am so grateful to get to be a part of it.

Can't wait to share more of this journey with all of you. ❤️

Want to see even more and support our farm and animals?

Check out our Patreon, where I am going to be diving deeper on all of our animals, homesteading, homeschooling, and healing tools. Http://linktr.ee/averyfamilyfarm

Your support means the world whether through Patreon, ❤️s, comments, or attending our events.

Sweet Potato is on her first adventures of life. 💜

Sorry it's taken me a little while to update you guys. It has been a journey this last week. This little one has been through loneliness (she has a friend now), a virus scare, and a vitamin difficiency that left her unable to walk. But she is better now and I have time to edit all the videos and pictures I have gotten!

I'll post lots of it here, but if you want more from Potato and all the farm animals (and help support the farm), head over to our Patreon http://patreon.com/averyfamilyfarm

We have some awesome tiers ranging from $5-$10. And all your support goes straight back to the care of all our sweet animals ❤️

❤️ing, watching the videos a few times, commenting, sharing, or remixing also help the rest of our followers get to see what we post.

Thanks for being here! Hope your day is as sweet as potato 😉
