We have only been in operation since April 2007. As a City Girl and a Small Town Boy starting out we had a lot of decisions to make about what kind of farm we wanted and how to manage our livestock. We had a lot of help from family, friends and neighbours. We also had a lot of help that we found on the internet. In case you are looking for the same answers we were, here are some of our favourite sites.
