Practices
Our belief is that we are but stewards of the land. With that as our guiding principal, we need to care for it wisely and keep it healthy. We do not use chemicals and we keep the populations of our farm in line with what the farm can support.
You know the old adage - Strong fences make good neighbors? Well, it is true - not just with our human neighbors, but the wild ones as well. We have established predator lines around our livestock and make Russell the Farm Dog do his best Gandalf impression "You Shall Not Pass" around the perimeter. Then, mixing the flocks with guard animals, we have an understanding - they stay on their side and we on ours. So far it has worked well!
