We sit high above a small valley in southeastern Minnesota leading into the Zumbro River. Our ewes graze our pastures every spring, summer, and fall, then munch on hay during the winter. The ewes give birth to over one hundred lambs on pasture every spring. The llamas Chachi, Zipper, and Tucker guard our flock from coyotes. Our chickens and ducks provide us with eggs, and our peacocks spend their days trying to impress us with their plumage. Our dairy goats provide milk for our bottle lambs every spring.

Melissa is the primary farmer who loves spending her days working with the animals, building things, fixing things, driving the tractor, and collecting eggs. Catherine is Ms. Backup Farmer, helping with chores, problem-solving, and larger projects. When not working on the farm, she's a writer and editor. (See www.catherinefriend.com)

We sell lean, pasture-raised lamb, and eggs from free roaming chickens. If you have any questions about our products, or want to visit before you buy, we'd love to show you around.
