We are a family homestead and raise animals naturally for our own meat, egg and dairy consumption. We sell the offspring each year of Shetland/babydoll cross sheep, MiniNubian dairy goats, KuneKunePigs, heritage turkeys, Rex and Heritage American Blue Rabbits and rainbow egger chicks. These animals have never had allopathic medicines and are raised only with herbal formulas for vibrant health and deworming, they are much more resilient and have strong immune systems. As a holistic homestead we utilize permaculture techniques to sink water into our landscape and add to the aquafer, using our gentle grade to Capture the rain into swales and ponds and therefore do not need to irrigate much of our 5.4 acres. This allows the many medicinal herbs and food crops we grow to thrive well into the dry season. Comfrey, calendula, mullein, feverfew, plantain, yarrow, sage, fennel, mugwort, motherwort, chamomile, elderberry, rose geranium, rose, self-heal, yerba Buena, lavender, yellow dock, pennyroyal, peppermint, honeysuckle, California pepper wood, California poppy and Hawthorne all grow and thrive here. We have only been here for 5 years and are excited to add in the next year elecampane, lemon verbena, marshmallow, vervain, valerian, yerba Santa, skullcap, passionflower, hops, nettles and beehives!
