Wise Woman Ways Farm
You are invited to Wise Woman Ways
Farm

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). 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 re-homed as breeding stock and pets. This isn't profitable
for me, but I can sleep at night. This may change in the future
if I locate a certified humane processing plant.

Next year the farm will offer CSF, community supported
farms, memberships. Since farm buildings need updating in
order to meet the Health Department requirements, improve
pastures and fences for rotational grazing and locate
appropriate equipment for increased cheese and
cheesecake production...our memberships will begin in the
fall of 2009. Hoop greenhouses for growing green fodder for
the animals and specialty items for cheeses and
cheesecakes will also be built. And more connections to
other local producers for other products I need will also be
established. Creating an environment for a sustainable and
holistic small farm enterprise. This means more benefits to
you and your loved ones. Healthy food from healthy soil and
animals.

In the upcoming year I will offer workshops for those of you
wanting to learn skills related to spiritual farming, natural
animal husbandry, simple fiber arts, small scale dairying and
artisan cheese making. Any of these skills can be applied to
city or suburban living.

This next year will see the farm expanding its fiber arts
creations too. Many small wool producers have either poor or
no outlet for selling their wool at a decent price. For a number
of years now wool prices will not even meet the cost of
shearing. With the purchase of the 'felting loom' this
upcoming year, I can now purchase wool from small
producers and create more rugs, blankets and wearable art
with a larger variety of design, color and types of wool for you
to choose from.
The farm is dedicated to creating
relationships rich in spiritual land
stewardship for us and our future
generations

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.
