Dave (upper left) has worked on our farm now for several years- bringing his knowledge of large farm equipment and his love of animals to our herd. He is primarily responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the infrastructure of the barns, fields and feeding supplies for the animals. He mixes grains, clears and cuts fields and has the never-ending job of road repair to the mile driveway leading to the farm.

Joe (middle & lower right), now semi-retired, has been our farmer for the past 35 years, following in the footsteps of his father who also worked on our farm. For many years, he raised Dorset and Suffolk sheep breeds with 75 breeding females producing young lambs for sale in the early spring. His farming operation over the years has included goats, rabbits for breeding, as well as a small herd of young dairy cows raised for milk production. Our fields of silage and hay have been used to feed the animals on the farm. Joe continues hay production for neighboring horse farms and has, for the past 25 years, made it a point to travel to Spain each summer to run with the bulls in Pamplona.

Cris (middle & lower left), is our newest addition to our farm family. She has a young family of her own, and brings her love of animals to her new part time position as assistant herd manager. She is responsible for providing medical follow-up, grooming and training of all the animals, particularly the youngest and scheduling vet visits and care. Cris shares her responsibilities with Rebecca (upper right) who has been working on our farm now for several years assisting with our growing herd and with farm maintenance.
