Animals on the farm
Farm Dogs
Argos
Our 100+ pound Great Pyrenees Mountain Dog born in August of 2023. He is calm, independent, exceedingly sweet-tempered and since he reached maturity we have not lost one chicken on his watch.
Aurora
Argos’ sister born on Valentine’s Day in 2024. She is calm and affectionate with people. At night she helps Argos protect our property from predators. During the day she likes to wander down to the creek or dairy farm.
Daisy
Daisy, our 13-year-old Border Collie mix, has been a part of our family in Illinois, Massachusetts, California, and now Pennsylvania. She adores people, tolerates dogs, and has learned to live with cats and chickens.
Barn Cats
Maggie
Maggie is the largest of the cats and tends to stay close to home. She is very friendly, but she will let you know when she is done being petted.
KiKi
Kiki is the bravest of the cats and will stand on her hind legs when you reach down to pet her. She blessed the farm when she gave birth to Joy.
Joy
Joy is Kiki’s daughter. She is the youngest of the cats on the farm. She likes to hang out by the firepit or take a nap on the porch swing.
Rug-Rat
Rug-Rat is the smallest and most skittish of the cats, but once she warms up to you she loves the attention.
Chickens
Ameraucana
Ameraucana hens lay blue eggs and have a sweet temperament. They come in a variety of colors and have pea combs and muffs.
Welsummer
This breed is extremely friendly and enjoy eating treats out of your hand. They lay beautiful dark brown eggs.
Delaware
Delaware chickens are brave and curious; they are the first to explore new environments and approach people. The hens lay light brown eggs.
Dylan
Dylan once again wielding tools as he did as a boy growing up on 10-acres in Northern California. He spent the first 10 years of his life living in a log cabin in the woods with no plumbing or electricity, riding his pony, crashing his big wheel tricycle and building anything else he needed from scratch.
Caroline
Living on a farm has been Caroline’s dream since reading “Farmer Boy” as a child. She finds fulfillment in raising animals, growing her own food, and hosting guests on this peaceful piece of paradise.
