About us

Scoop ‘n’ Poop Farm is our Family version of Modern Homesteading. We have evolved our journey over the years, from just visiting the farm property periodically to living on site full time. What a great way to slow down and enjoy the life we have been given.
We started with our youngest son’s 4th grade hatching project and now have well over 200 chickens of varying breeds. And yes, that’s a lot of eggs! We have beautiful registered Mini Nubian Goats and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, lovely Welsh Harlequin Ducks, majestic Cayuga Ducks, a “tiny” flock of Call Ducks of varying colors, a couple of LGDs, who resemble large white puff balls, that protect their Charges (the Goats), our English Shepherd aka Bindi, Our Farm Manager, and of course our Pack of Patterdale Terriers, of them, lots of energy in that crew! We are always looking at new animals to join our happy barnyard, who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Raised beds grow our Family vegetables in the Summer and Fall. A small berry patch out back brings us sweet blueberries and tasty raspberries. Our pumpkin patch brings us orange deliciousness for the animals to feast upon in the Fall and the fields of Giant Sunflowers are quite beautiful. What a sight for Fall and yet we all look forward to Spring, which brings with it new life in all ways.
We have an arsenal of John Deere tractors and other equipment to make our lives easier, but we also put our clothes out to dry on a clothesline, so the best of all worlds, old and new, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We enjoy the barnyard noises all day and the brilliant stars at night. It is a lot of hard work on a daily basis, but the return is quite amazing. We look forward to seeing how our journey will evolve here at Scoop ‘n’ Poop Farm, because if we know one thing for sure there is always another project just waiting for us around the corner.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
