Wise Woman Ways Farm
You are invited to Wise Woman Ways
Farm to experience learning in a state
of Grace
Originally, the farm was started as a means to raise dairy
sheep and goats for production of artisan cheeses, original
recipe gourmet cheesecakes and unique fiber arts products.
All for commercial sale. What I discovered was I didn't like
the huge amounts of government regulations, paperwork and
inspections, the huge amount of debt required in order to
accommodate these regulations, but most of all I hated
sending excess animals to market (this means to a slaughter
house usually). I am a Medicine Shield Healer and sending
anything to be killed didn't really fit with my life work
philosophy. Although there are respectful and sacred ways to
take the life of those who provide us with our food, I choose to
remain a 'no kill' farm. All excess animals are sold or
rehomed as breeding stock and pets. This isn't necessarily
profitable but I can sleep at night.
Instead, I rethought the use of the farm and have made it a
place where people can come and learn many unique
everyday living skills, such as cheese making or building
and cooking in clay ovens, natural animal husbandry; and art
forms such as weaving and felting
We offer individualized workshops for those of you wanting to
learn skills related to spiritual farming, natural animal
husbandry or small scale dairying and artisan cheese
making.
The farm is dedicated to creating an environment of balance, harmony and grace.

The farm lies in a 'magical' valley which sits on a number of the earths 'energy carriers' called ley lines. This affords us the opportunity to enhance the activities we are engaged in. The valley has its' animal guardians'. I am privileged to have buffalo here with me who are the guardians of the land. By watching their health and wellness I can understand the state of health and well being of the land. Here they are enjoying their morning 'treat' of fresh fruit.
