I recently had the opportunity to shear these Jacob sheep, and although I forgot to capture a photograph before the shearing process, I was able to document the transformation of the last sheep with before and after pictures. The sheep had a 2-year fleece, which sheared well and yielded a high-quality fleece. If you are seeking a sheep shearer, I would be delighted to discuss scheduling options with you. I still have availability in May and most of June.

Here is a recent series of photographs. The birth of our goat's young has been a highlight. The girls are savoring their limited time on fresh grass and look forward to more outdoor excursions in the months ahead. The lambs are quickly learning to graze and clearly have a fondness for the grass. Their playful antics, which include jumping, running, and eating, provide endless entertainment.

March is National Agriculture Month, and here in Ohio, that means celebrating the farmers, producers, and families who keep our communities fed and our economy strong. 🌾🚜

From family farms to cutting-edge ag innovation, agriculture isn’t just part of our history — it’s our future. Thank you to everyone who works sunup to sundown to put food on our tables and fuel one of the largest industries in our state.

The newly fallen snow transformed the landscape into a perfect setting for photography, which I couldn't resist. Ben, my trusty assistant, and the sheep seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the winter weather.

I've received numerous inquiries about honey from my beehives this year. Regrettably, I will not have any honey available this year. Due to the challenging dry conditions and that resulting in less available pollen than normal for most of the year, I've decided to prioritize the health of the hives and allow them to retain their entire collection. We are currently winterizing the hives and are hopeful for a successful honey crop next year. Thank you to our customers for their interest, and we look forward to hopefully meeting your needs next year.
