I am interested in buying some Icelandic chicks. I just bought a pair of adult birds from a guy who bought them from Behl farms. I would be very interested in some chicks to add more variety to my very small flock. Please let me know what I need to do to purchase them. Email me if there are any concerns.
Thanks,

Ethan Fithen

We should be able to start a batch for you late this week. The clutch in there now will be at 21 days on Tuesday.

I would love to purchase some Icelandic chicks . I have been looking for them for well over a year now. I learned you are able hatch chicks for customers with a $25.00 deposit and $4.00 per chick charge plus 12.50 for total shipping. I think they are the most beautiful birds.
Please feel free to call me if need be.
Thank you so much.
Susan

Hi Lisa
Your place is booming! Wow! The pics are great! I can’t wait to see the recipes.

Thanks!

Hi,
Found you guys on Linked in actually, just wanted to commend you on your sheep dairying plans. I am amazed how many people are starting to milk sheep. I remember back in the early 90′s when Hollow Road Dairy was the only commercial sheep dairy in the US. Good luck. And make great cheese

Sincerely,

Steve Schaefer

Do you have any turkeys for sale for this Thanksgiving? – google lists you, but I don’t see any on your web site.
Thanks! And keep on doing what you’re doing!

With an antique spinning wheel and donated loom, we are just now learning the trade. Do you use a diz and crochet hook to spin? Do you have a diz for sale?

I have dairy goats instead of sheep but other than that we seem to have a lot in common, from the Rex Stout books to the Crochet Guild. I’ve been wanting some Tamworth hogs for a long time. Just not enough room here right now.

What a lovely blog!
We sold our farm a year and a half ago and I miss my animals. Now we live on an apple farm downstate and there are sheep and cattle, but, really, it’s not the same as when they’re yours.

Have you raised pigs before? You think your sheep are tricky, wait until the pigs get there!!! The happiest day of the year for me was always the day the pigs went to the butcher! Fiendishly clever, they are!

Well, thanks for letting me peak in at your farm.
God bless.
Terri
