Os animais.
Vacas Jersey, cabras, ovelhas, cavalos, uma dupla de bois em treinamento e um Grande Pirineus de guarda. Muitos têm nome, e alguns têm padrinhos.
Uma mistura trabalhadora
A fazenda mantém um pequeno rebanho leiteiro Jersey, um rebanho de cabras leiteiras, um rebanho de ovelhas e cavalos tanto para as aulas de montaria quanto para a aposentadoria. Um Grande Pirineus leva a sério o trabalho de cão de fazenda.
Os animais, nome por nome
Todos eles estão aqui hoje, e a maioria vem até a cerca se você vier.
Baby Rhett
JERSEY BULL CALFBorn in July 2024, bottle-fed and hand-raised, and completely convinced every visitor came to see him. He is the first animal most children meet here.
Stevie
GREAT PYRENEESThe farm dog, and the first face at the gate. Stevie greets every visitor, supervises the whole place from the top of the picnic table, and is never happier than in a puddle or on a car ride.
Eleanor
JERSEY COW · 4 YEARSGentle, curious, and hard-working: Eleanor gives about 20,710 pounds of milk a year, which is where a great deal of our cheese begins.
Hayden
JERSEY COWThe friendliest face in the barn. Hayden also gives about 20,710 pounds of milk a year. A working cow in every sense.
Star
THOROUGHBRED · 10 YEARSA summer horse-camp favorite who genuinely likes children. Star's allergies mean she eats a special hypoallergenic diet, which costs more than an ordinary one.
Leroy
27 YEARSThe old man of Flint Hill Farm. Leroy ambles over to anyone who stops at the fence, collects the affection he is owed, then goes back to walking the field with his best friend Henry, the mini horse.
Gretchen
SHEEP · THE MATRIARCHGretchen leads the flock, and she leads it well. She is the matriarch, the one the others follow across the field. Lambing season means extra care for her, before and after.
Officer
STANDARDBRED · 13 YEARSPlayful, gentle, and devoted to rolling in the dirt. Officer feels the cold more than the others, so winter here means a blanket, a heater, and extra hoof care.
Noel
ALPINE GOATCheerful and businesslike about it: Noel's milk is what becomes our goat butter, our soap, and a good deal of our cheese.
