Little Jaybird Farm

All of our products that are sold use a modern approach rooted in traditional methods. Owned by Walker, Mandy, and the Overstreet boys. We are focused on sustainable living and organic farming and gardening. Our garden includes a variety of tomatoes, squash, zucchini, loofahs, beets, strawberries, elderberries, blueberries, kale, and whatever else may be in season at the time. We use only organic fertilizer (made at the farm, mostly rabbit poo) and organic pesticide treatments if needed. We have a drum to catch rainwater which we use to water the garden when possible. This year we are focusing on beefing up our blueberry crop so that we will have a lot to offer in the future. On the animal side, we have heritage breed rabbits, chickens and hogs. Our hog (right now singular) is an American Guinea Hog and is about to be the proud father of a litter of piglets. He is currently housed off site, but we are planning to move him to the farm very soon. This guy is an adventurer, and made a great 10 mile or so escape as a piglet (about 4 months old) before being rescued by some kind-hearted people down the road. In addition to providing meat eventually, we are planning to self-render the lard to use in our skincare products. We have approximately 20 hens that are housed in a movable, trailer coop that Walker built. The coop is surrounded by a solar-powered electric fence to keep the girls safe. We have had a lot of issues the past year with critters taking our flock, so hopefully these measures will keep them safe. The 40-50 rabbits on the farm include Chinchillas, Silver Foxes, and more. We raise the majority of them traditionally, but are testing 5 rabbits out in a move-able tractor style pen to allow them to be grass-fed. We move the tractor every morning as it is impressive the amount of grass those little guys can eat in a day! We do breeding on site and have pedigrees for all of our breeders. Walker is planning to obtain his meat-handlers licensing in the next couple of months which will allow us to sell the rabbits to restaurants, individuals, or stores.
