(232)

We also sell plants, duck and chicken eggs, handmade crafts, and energy boosted crystals and stones. Formally: Hux Family Farm NOW: Avery Family Farm

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!

Saturday Aug 8th:
10:30am Goat Yoga
12:30pm Meditation and Mindfulness plus energy healing and goat snuggles

Monday Aug 10th:
10:30am-1 pm Kids or Family Farm and Nature Explorers

Friday Aug 14th:
10:30am to 12:00pm Storytime and Craft plus Animal time

"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
Link in bio.

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!)

Smell a flower

Watch a butterfly

Hug a tree

Hug a goat 🤗

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.

Truffle and I hope you find some of that this weekend 💜

Calm....collected...even yawning...then....
