It has always been our dream to have a little place in the country.  It took us almost 20 years to get here but it has been well worth the wait.  Every day brings us something new, a new clutch of turkey chicks, a lamb or kid or even just harvesting fresh tomatoes from our very own garden.   It hasn't been easy but the results have been worth the work.    

As you'll notice we have exotic animals listed here as well as our miniature livestock.  We began years ago as volunteers with an animal rescue and there were times when a mink or some other exotic animal would come in.  It was hard enough for the director to find a good home for a prairie dog much less a mink, so we brought home the occasional lost domestic mink.  We already had several ferrets and I've always had a special place in my heart for mink.  It wasn't long before we obtained a federal license to do educational programs with our mink and ferrets.  We brought in a pair of kinkajous next and currently we have a bobcat, pine marten, ferrets, mink and  short tailed opossums as well as our miniature sheep and goats. 

Although we don't do educational programs very often now, we still will under certain circumstances.  If you are interested in having us do a program for you just send us an email and we can discuss the details.
