OUR HOMESTEAD STORY
Almost from the time we got married, we knew we wanted a farm together. Through only circumstances that God could have put in place, we found the perfect home on 5 acres with a beautiful barn and so much potential. We started with a little Pygmy goat & 12 chickens.
A number of years later we now have chickens, geese, ducks, goats, sheep & turkeys, as well as over 1/4 acre of garden & raised beds. We make sustainability, soil health & raising our animals humanely & ethically our top priorities.
My husband, daughter & I love working the land, learning & all of our DIY farm projects.
God's blessings have been abundant in so many ways!
ABOUT KREIDER KABIN FARM
Our little hobby farm & homestead is constantly growing & evolving. We currently have over 100 chickens (a variety of breeds, with aspirations to continue to get more Orpington breeds), geese (Toulouse, Embdens & Sebastopol), ducks (Muscovy, Silver Appleyard, Cayugas, Swedes, Pekins & Buffs) around 15 goats, 10 Icelandic sheep & seasonally have meat chickens & turkeys. We strive to raise our animals as ethically & naturally as possible. The majority of our poultry & water fowl are completely free-range once it is safe for them to be outside & integrate with the rest of the flock. Additionally, we rotate pastures & closely monitor the goats & sheep in order to minimize the use of medications & promote soil health.
God provided us with these wonderful animals; thus we feel it is our responsibility to raise them ethically & respectfully.
Growing & Creating
We grow a number of flowers, fruits & vegetables in our garden, raised beds & small orchard.
