Crouton & Pumpernickel

Crouton arrived in 2018 just before Christmas. Pumpernickel arrived in 2019 in early December. They were both veal calves advertised on Craigslist by local dairy farmers.

That Pony (Toy)

Toy originally came from England. He is a breed known as a Gypsy cob or Gypsy Vanner. They are known for their docile nature and are a draft horse in a small body. He is a real character and enjoys his nightly stroll down the aisle to visit with everyone.

Luscious OG

Luscious, also known as Marshmallow or Shmelly is our resident who handles baby sitting duties. He raised both Crouton and Pumpernickel until they grew too big and rough.

Jack, Theo, Benny, Oscar, Franklin

This is THE PACK. All are fantastic farm dogs and enjoy patrolling the barns. Jack is the youngest and is figuring out his spot in the group. Franklin (WIggles) enjoys rides in the hay wheelbarrow and remains ever vigilant about B. Bennett’s favorite is basking in front of his personal heater in the winter. Theo is the most loyal of the group and is usually watching over us. Oscar is usually looking for rats or snoozing on his dog bed.

Ruby Roo

Rhubarb is a red Tamworth sow. She was picked up by police running loose in the city of Bridgeport CT. Not exactly farm country. She has taken to farm life and is up in everyone’s business all day long.
