ey receive no grain. Our Icelandic sheep also provide us with fleeces of all colors. We sell raw fleeces, roving, hand spun (we do all the hand spinning) and mill spun yarn, felt, and batting.
Our chickens are raised in a field behind our house. After 3 weeks in a homemade brooder, the chickens are moved in a mostly predator proof, moveable pen. We move their pen at least once a day so they can have fresh grass, bugs, worms, etc. We also feed them vegetable protein based poultry food from the local feed store.
We raise 6-12 pigs at a time in a large barn pen that has plenty of rooting and loafing room. The pigs receive left over milk from the dairy, vegetable protein based grain, barley, vegetable compost and fresh grass during summer.
Veal calves come from our dairy and nurse on mother cows their entire lives. These calves are pastured during summer months and are in a loafing shed with the nurse cow during the mud season.
