Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.

~ John Muir ~

Raising animals offers many rewards. We enjoy each of our animals' company and personalities and find it satisfying to experience a part of the country here in the city.

Our ducks and chickens were hand-raised from day-old babies and are sociable, loyal and affectionate and come when called.

Our animals are NOT for meat consumption since we are vegetarian. We use and sell the non-fertile eggs from the ducks and chickens.


Please note: we are working hard to get PART II of this site ready. These sections/articles will be published once they are completed.

In the meantime, you can visit our "old site" and read about a few of the steps we have taken (remember: the external links will not work)

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
