Baby Goat Cuddles and Play
There’s not much that soothes the soul like sweet baby goats. Our first kids of the season have arrived and they’re ready to play and cuddle.

Managed Woodlot Tour with Auren
Every Sunday Afternoon, Auren takes a walk through our managed woodlot to enjoy the comfort of the forest and hones his plans for ensuring the long term sustainability and productivity of the woodlot. Biodiversity is the first priority of our forest plan, but so is using the woodlot to teach about ecology and forest management, as well as producing fuelwood and lumber for the homestead. If you’re interested in the trees and how we’re managing our resources, Auren would love to take you along and show you around.
