Lets "Pile On" the
Feathers and Fleece Farm Photos
We have spent nearly 20 years planting our property with gardens of flowers, herbs and even an orchard of over 100 apple trees.
Much time and effort has been put into making our gardens both functional and beautiful.
All of the structures and buildings on our property were built by my husband.
He built the greenhouse, barns, out buildings, coops,arbors everything down to the last trellis.
The gardens were all my handy work.
I grew up on a farm, with hundreds of bown egg laying chickens.
As a young girl we sold our brown eggs to the local markets for spending money.
Later in my childhood my family became interested in Show Silkie Chickens,
so naturally I have an interest in Silkies.
When I was in the fourth grade my teacher asked each child to stand up and give
an interesting fact about yourself.
Most children stood and said things like "I am afraid of spiders".
Or " I hate school". When it was my turn I stood up and said " I like dogs".
This statement earned me the nick name "ROVER" for the next several years.
Today my love of dogs has paid off.
I have a family of 11 dogs, all of them are my closest friends.
Each dog gets affection from me daily.
We have an exceptionally clean facility for them and our home is very clean.
We have found that keeping these dogs requires little more than- love and
a steady routine. We have a chore routine that does not feel like work at all. Believe me
routine is something that a dog understands, break your regular routine and everyone is a mess!
