L&M Farms We raise goats, poultry and cattle. I try to stay informed on important issues in the farm industry, and pass on that information.

We offer handmade soap and salves Contact us to see what we have available. Our larger goats are being bred to be large sized for meat, as well as potential milkers. We have a second goat herd of pygmies and nigerian dwarfs for milk or pets. We typically have several small and feeder calves available. Our Mini Teacup Piglets will stay small; we hand feed so they have already been worked with when you take one home. Our rabbits are New Zealand, Flemish Giant, standard, and pocket pets, and have bunnies regularly. We have developed a flock of Golden and Silver Seabright, Millie Fleur DeLoche, and Silkie Bantams, as well as Frizzles. We have standard size chickens for egg production or meat, as well as ducks and turkeys. We are providing custom hatching services for our customers, as well as hatching our own chicks.

You have to pivot and handle whatever is next

Some people were upset that we euthanized a couple raccoons after trapping them on our farm.

Here’s the reality of farming.

That raccoon wasn’t living peacefully in the woods—it was repeatedly coming onto our farm and killing our chickens. Protecting the livestock in our care is our responsibility, not an option.

If that bothers you, you probably won’t like hearing that we also harvest deer every year to fill our freezer & to manage the white tail population, and we raise cattle that are eventually processed for beef. If a cow becomes dangerously aggressive or repeatedly fails to care for her calves, we make difficult management decisions then, too. Farming requires hard choices, and avoiding every difficult decision is NOT responsible animal stewardship.

But here’s what some people don’t see.

We’re the same people who stop in the middle of the road to move turtles to safety. We’re the ones who stay up until 2 a.m. with a sick calf, hoping it’ll pull through and most of the time that calf is laying on our living room floor. We bottle-feed babies, call the vet when something is wrong, and spend countless hours making sure our animals are healthy, fed, and cared for.

Caring about animals doesn’t mean never making hard decisions. It means doing what’s necessary to protect the animals that depend on us and providing them with the best life possible while they’re in our care.

You don’t have to agree with every decision we make. But please don’t mistake responsible farm management for a lack of compassion.

The hardest part of farming isn’t making the easy choices—it’s making the necessary ones. Even if they are tough calls.

Recently I’ve learned via Twitter that lots of cats (dogs, too) enjoy chasing after fireflies. But please don’t let your pets eat the fireflies! This is for their own sake, not for the …
