It never ceases to amaze me at how much fun I actually get to have during our Open Barn events. In thinking about it though, it makes sense ... I get to do what I absolutely love, with my dear, sweet hubby for people who adore coming out to the farm and learning, touching, feeling - hands on stuff. I - we - love to educate people about farm life.
Even though we have a "small" farm in the 'burbs, it is a model of what can be done on a very small piece of land. We know that it is just prepping us for that larger farm we will someday be able to run our full farm operation on.
Today's the last day of our Open Barn Week. We're tired and joyful at the same time. There just isn't anything better than hearing both young and old go on and on about how much fun they had and how they enjoyed themselves here at our little farm.
We are a diversified micro farm with a new location just outside of Boise, Idaho. Come learn about us, the Norwegian Fjord horses, the Irish Dexter cattle, Jacob sheep and more about all we do here on the farm ... loving farm life! We believe YOU can farm too - join with us today!

Open Barn - WEEK!
Why do we do this, you ask (we get that a lot). We want to be able to open our farm and share it with others who may not have the opportunity to go visit a farm. Horse farms are notorious for keeping their barn doors shut to the public. Unless you're willing to drop those big bucks every month, they really aren't interested in sharing anything with you. What a shame! We love to teach about our horses, how we manage them, their personalities...on and on we go. We also love to teach about chickens ... both their egg management as well as pastured poultry and how all that works and why it's different. Has Tyson Foods ever invited you to their farm? Probably not. I've never been to one of their "farms", but suspect I would leave in tears seeing all those birds in cages for their entire lives.
We really feel fortunate to have been blessed with what we have here on our little farm. Come on our and enjoy yourself. While we do not have a charge to come, we do, kindly ask for your generous donations. The donations are what help make our Open Barn and other events even possible.
