2Chicks and a Farm finally has its second Chick. On March 7th, Julie and Theresa shared wedding vows in the farm. A small but very special ceremony in the Hoop House, surrounded by some family, close friends and a number of the cats.
Theresa is selling her house and leaving her job to join us full time on the farm. She comes with three adorable cats and an equally adored nephew Jake.
The house bedrooms are now full. Farmhand Luke, handsome and caring, he makes us smile every day. Adopted grandfather Alex who is maybe the smartest person I’ve ever known. Jake, who is a wonderful chef and organiser.
I hope anyone reading this gets to experience meeting their soul mate. And when you do, hold them close and make sure they know how much they are loved and cherished everyday.
About The Farm
The farm currently consists of eight dogs, ten barn cats, 11 Nigerian Dwarf Goats (a buck, two whether's, and 8 does), two pigs (Penelope and Petunia), a French Toulouse Goose (Luis), 8 Blue Swedish Ducks, and over 50 chickens. We lost Luis mate in 2024 and are excitedly waiting for three new goslings Spring 2025.
The dogs are Maddie and Poppy, American Cocker Spaniels, Harper, London and Mia, English Labrador Retrievers, Rocky and Stella, Great Pyrenees Livestock Guardian Dogs (they help protect the poultry and goats). and Sadie a Harlequin Great Dane.
The barn cats are all rescues, Thelma and Louise came to us from a farm in Ohio. Then there's brothers Midnight and Stormy, Marmaduke, Aspen, Olivia, Wyatt and Lady. If there were ever souls who knew how to love life, it’s these little lives. They'll be the first to greet you when you visit. They loved interacting with the Campers this Summer so much and missed having so many visitors, so we have set up a 'Cat Cafe' complete with snacks for both humans and cats, hot drinks, seating and interactive cat toys.
While a lot of work has been done over the past few years, there is still a lot more to do to get where we want to be. We are adding some fruit trees, fish to the pond, and a second Hoop House, Spring 2025.
I hope you’ll join all the other living creatures and I on our journey, whether just virtually, meeting at a local Farmers Market, festival, or paying us a visit on the farm - Julie.
Luke
Luke now’s lives and works full-time on the farm (what a blessing). He’s proven to be good with taking care of the animals, manual labour, odd jobs helping in the gardens and is great with guests. Maddie has adopted him as ‘her person’. Oh, and he makes a mean burrito among other tasty things.
Kristyn
Hi, I'm Kristyn! I'm lucky enough to be a neighbor to the farm. Mom of 3 boys, with a background in design and a love for all things floral and garden, I enjoy helping with the flowers and farm stand, events, and finding fun new recipes to use farm fresh goods. I love the sense of community I've found on the farm!
Adam
Adam is in 10th grade and got his first job, working on the farm in the Summer 2024. As you see, he’s a natural with the animals. If fact, the goat he’s holding got so attached that Adam asked to keep him, and so Tuxedo stayed on the farm. One of Adam’s favorite things is to visit with Campers and take the kids on rides in our UTV.
