A GWF Animal Primer, Just in Time for our First Wedding

Our New Farm Sign
We got a new sign for the farm. Keep an eye out for it when you visit.

On Saturday, we’ll be hosting our first wedding here on the farm, and it’s a special one – my dad, Woody, is getting hitched to his beautiful bride, Adrienne.  We couldn’t be more happy for them, and if they give permission, we’ll be sure to share some photos from their special day.

We know some of you will be coming to the farm for the first time this weekend, so we wanted to give you a little primer to the critters here, just in case you are as big on names as we are.

The Chickens

Xander – Our Plymouth Rock rooster

Ruby, Vermilion, Magenta, Crimson, and Maroon – Our Campines

Curioser, Onyx, and Ebony – Our Andalusians

Hollyhock, Hyacinth, and Hibiscus – Our Cochins

Daffy, Lemon, and Gigantor – Our Easter Eggers

Dingbat – Our Plymouth Rock hen

Weirdo and Not Weirdo, Dean, and Genius – Our Hens whose breed I have not yet identified.

The Goats

Bliss and Elvira – Our Cashmere Goats

Our Dogs
