On the Farm
To enjoy 'farm to table' breakfast, there has to be a farm!
Scroll on down and meet the gang!
"Tinkerbell", a.k.a. 'Crack Baby' is the guests favorite barnyard friend! Tinkerbell is always first to greet the guest and will charm the socks right off your feet! She loves to be held and she loves to be with people. She was born in March 2015 and guest have enjoyed feeding her bottle and watching her grow. (Photo courtesy of K Jones).
Tinkerbell is also quite an acrobat. She has jumping platforms, a see saw, and even a hula hoop. Keep your eye on the barnyard and you might catch Tinkerbell putting on a show!
As one gentlemen put it, "That Tinkerbell has me wrapped around her little finger, well, wrapped around her little hoof!"
As a pure bred Nubian, when Tinkerbell is grown, she will produce a rich milk that is perfect for making homemade butter and cheese.
"Rosa Lee" and "Bonnie" are our lambs. These gals were born in April 2015.
"Mama Sheep" is very friendly and loves when guest share fresh fruits and veggies with her!
"Rosa Lee" a.k.a. 'Rosie' loves to have her muzzle and ears rubbed.
"Lucky Don" and "Ducky Maria" are our Pekin ducks. These two are born entertainers! Named after some loyal guest, you guessed it, Don and Maria, these ducks 'rule the roost'. You might catch them showering in the fountain, munching on the flowers, or chasing the rooster!
"Scarlett Egg-hara" is our Rhode Island Red. She is a star performer at the b&b. Scarlett is one of 17 hens that call the bed and breakfast home. Scarlett can lay about 350 farm fresh eggs per year! (Thanks, Scarlett!)
"Mountain," named for her majestic size coupled with her 'snow capped peak' headdress, is one of our five Silver Laced Wyandotte hens. She, along with her friends, "Luna, Sweetheart, Cutie Pie, and Ethel" each produce 300+ eggs per year.
"Durin" King of the Dwarves, is one of our five Black Australorp chickens. Durin is the friendliest chicken on the farm, who just also happens to be a rooster! Durin, whose name is derived from The Lord of the Rings novels, rules the roost over "Fili, Kili, Sauron and Pippen." Durin is admired for his friendly demeanor and his beautiful feathering. However, Durin is most noted for his abscence of crowing at the 'crack of dawn'! Durin respectfully observes quiet time from dusk until 8:00 a.m. He has a special "night night box" that keeps him cozy and dark until breakfast time. Photo courtesy of M. Olson 2015
"Dolly and Delilah" are our Basset Hounds. With their long, floppy ears and sad eyes, they make everyone smile! Dolly, has blond ears, the larger chest, and wears the 'Coat of Many Colors'. Delilah is a red headed gal with a mostly black coat. These two always welcome a good belly rub or a snuggle by a cozy fire.
