Take a walk to see our two week old baby alpaca and other animals. The farm store will be open 11am-3pm. Regular cafe and farm store on Saturday. Menu on our website.Fresh!We will have our grassfed fresh beef, as well as our own pastured fresh goose and guinea fowl available to purchase. The geese range in size from 5-7 pounds.

Dec. 12 & 13 Fresh Lamb In spite of a miserable cold, rainy day, our Harvest Fair was decently attended. We loved the scarecrow entries! Scarlet, top, by Linda Mormile and Dorothea Cotter won the People's Choice best scarecrow, and a gift certificate. You can see it now, displayed in front of Kim's West Winds in Preston Hollow. Another favorite was the Rebel, by Regina Galluscio. A few scarecrows remain here as decoration, too! Thanks to all who participated to raise funds for the Regional Food Pantry.
And a special thanks to Wes Laraway and the Birds of Prey. Mesmerizing! Best,
Carol Clement
