Our small acreage diversified farm is named
for our two Beauceron (Boh-seh-rohn) dogs.
An ancient herding breed from France also known as
Bas Rouge or 'lower red' - 'red stockings' for the reddish fur on their legs and paws. Our Beaucerons are wonderful companions and guardians on the farm.
Our small acreage farm started as a homestead over a dozen years ago. In 2025, we are going into our fourth year as a farm business with several enterprises & credentials:
We enjoy teaching, writing and speaking about what we know.
