Autumn Rayne Acres

Autumn Rayne Acres Farming with integrity, raising pastured animals in harmony with nature and delivering nutrient-dense meats that nourish our family and community Wish us luck.

Veterans of the Army, my husband and I were a military family, moving every 2-3 years. I left active service after the birth of our daughters while in Germany, staying reserve for 5 more years. My husband, Ross, 20 years active. His final post took us to Virginia and
we bought our "forever home" with 7 acres to raise a few chickens and a garden in retirement. We decided to buy a few sheep and go

ats, built a small barn...And we were hooked. Autumn Rayne Acres was established deciding
an Icelandic and Finn sheep flock was our goal....and a few pet goats. Ross had two years left to retirement and our small flock grew. His final days in sight and we had outgrown our little homestead. And the Virginia climate was not kind to sheep. So last fall we said goodbye to Virginia and returned to my family's farm in Vermont. No longer a working dairy farm, big barns, acres of pasture, and a better sheep climate, it was an easy decision. With the help of family and friends, 25 sheep, 5 goats, 2 dogs, 2 cats, a small tractor, household goods and barn supplies loaded on 4 vehicles, we made it home to Vermont. Our goal is to fully establish a flock of Registered Icelandic and Finn Sheep for meat and wool, continuing the market we had started in Virginia here in Vermont. We plan to attend select farmers markets as well as market from the farm. As our plans solidify, we will let everyone know. And it's nice to be home.

The apple blossoms have weathered the frost beautifully, a promising sign for the seasons ahead, and now it's time to give my tomatoes the green light to thrive (I hope).

One of my all time favorite smells in the world! Love this time of year.

Looking forward to long summer nights in the garden while chatting with the sheep as they graze this back field by my garden.

I can here the brook babbling in the background while the birds sing. It really is a great little oasis from the hustle ans bustle of everyday life.

Had a really great day prepping the garden and even got some onions, shallots and chard in the ground. Struck out at the local greenhouses for some plant starts and flowers. But, that's okay! There is always next weekend.
