Meet the Animals
George
Great Pyrenees X Marmara Guardian Dog
Hi, I'm George! I am super fluffy and adorable! My eyes are really big because I am blind. I can only see dark shadows a little bit. I am also deaf. So when we first meet, go slow and let me smell you so that I can get to know you. I can't see but I don't let that stop me. I am very clever and have been called "Houdini" because I am like magic finding my way out to wander but I get lost. That's why I am on a tether or in a secure pen, to keep me safe!

Cornelius
Pot Bellied Pig
Hi! I like to spend my days wandering around the farm in search of the most comfortable spot to lie and wait for belly scratches. If I can't find a comfortable place, I make my own by moving around the dirt with my snout. I am a friendly guy who loves to be around people but sometimes I can't see very well, so please don't run towards me. I am not aggressive but I do have tusks to help protect myself. If you see me around the farm please say hello and give me a pat.
Baa Baa
Sheep
Hi, I'm Baa Baa. You know the song Baa Baa Black Sheep, well that's me! And yes, I do have wool! I am super friendly, I just want to be your friend. I like to hang out or go for walks around the meadow. Guess what my favorite part of the walk is? Eating grass, I have a big appetite. My second favorite part of the walk is running about spinning my tail like a helicopter. It's so much fun! I am not a huge fan of being groomed with a brush, I prefer hands. We are closer that way!

Yoda
Goat
Hi! I'm Yoda and I am the biggest goat. I love my big ears, I have been told I look like Yoda from the Star Wars movies. I hope I am wise like him one day. I am big and sometimes I want everything to myself and I push others away. I am trying to learn to share. I am quick too. I like to run around all over and jump about because I am soooo happy! I like to make people laugh too! Everyday is a new adventure
for me!

Earl
Cat
Hi there, my name is Earl. I'm just a little guy. A little bundle of love, I have been told. Life is awesome here on the farm. I have lots of family to play with and I get to explore the farm too. I am learning how to be an adventure puss cat just like Chloe. She is a great teacher. She even invites me into her house so we can hang out in the clubhouse, playing with lots of toys!

Arie
Dog
Hi there, my name is Arie. I am a livestock guardian dog. My job is to protect the animals on the farm. I am going to be a big guy because I am 1/2 Great Pyrenees, 1/4 Maremma, 1/8 Mastiff and 1/8 Caucasian Shepard. I also love people and have the cutest eyes that make people's hearts melt!

Nanook
Dog
Hi ! I'm Nanook. I am a livestock guardian dog. I was supposed to guard the animals but I prefer to protect my human family and their house. I stay in a secure fenced yard where guests on the farm are not allowed to go. You might see me barking but I prefer if you keep your distance from me. I get really nervous when I see new people and sometimes it can look like I am mad and I want to bite. So let me love you from afar.

Nutmeg
Goat
Hi there, my name is Nutmeg and I am an African Pygmy cross Nigerian Dwarf goat. I really like being around people and being pet, so much so that I might try to get your attention by touching your leg with my paw. I really enjoy a good scratch, playing its my brother Butternut (generally butting heads with each other but it's all fun and games, I promise!) and eating a variety of greens and plants in the yard.
Bambi
Miniature Horse
Hi, I am Bambi, and I am a Palomino Miniature Horse who loves a good back scratch! I like to consider myself the mama of the barn. Although I enjoy giving humans a big ole smooch, I do get scared easily, especially when people move really quickly around me or wave things such as their hands or fabric around my face. I may seem standoffish at first, but if you approach me slowly, you'll see that I can be as cuddly as all the other animals.

Sweet Pea
Sheep
Hello there, my name is Sweet Pea and I am a Calico Sheep! Although I may have a bit of a raspy sounding voice I promise I am as lovely as my name. I like to think of myself as a sweet little spirit who brings calm to the barn when the others are running a muck. I love to be groomed and I especially love a good scratch around my shoulders and hips. Every spring, I get a big haircut and my wool is used for felting!
Blossom
Goat
Hi, my name is Blossom and I am the smallest goat in the family here at the farm. My specific breed is fainting X boar goat. When I feel overwhelmed or frightened, my legs freeze and I "faint", but I am okay. I just need a minute to relax. I really love people and will often come up to anyone who enters the barn for a pat. Sometimes I can be a bit cheeky and try to give your clothes a nibble. I'm not trying to put holes in them on purpose, but I just really love chewing on things and seeing what new tastes I can find in the world.
​
Chloe
Cat
Hi! I'm Chloe but I'm also called Clubhouse Chloe because the clubhouse is my very own home. How lucky am I to have a whole house to myself! I am also called Adventure Puss Cat because I love to explore the farm jumping through the meadow and climbing trees. I love scratches but I prefer not to be held. I like to be in control and I will come to you...a lot!

Sakih
Dog
Hi! I'm Sakih and I come from Attawapiskat a remote First Nation community in Ontario's far north. Everyone says I am a wild spirit and I guess I am because I just LOVE life and find everything FUN! I am not always the greatest listener because sometimes I just find it hard to stop and focus. I just want to keep doing what I am doing and exploring everything!

Radish
Bunny
Hi! I'm Radish. I am a loving bunny who just loves to love. I am always excited to see people and I love to be cuddled. I also love my 2 chicken friends Madge & Joyce, they are my family. It doesn't matter that we are different animal species, we don't see our differences we just love each other.

Nellie & Jasper
Goats
Hi! We are Nellie & Jasper, we are Nigerian dwarfs so we will always be small. We are also twins, so just like other siblings we like to play around and sometimes butt heads. We love being close to people, the closer the better we think, so we might jump up sometimes so we can give kisses. We also love to be brushed and scratched.

Feathered Friends
Chickens & Duck
There are many chickens and ducks in our flock on the farm, all with their own little personalities and quirks. Some who love to scratch about and chatter away to each other and some who love to sit in their nest all day and keep to themselves. You will often see the girls popping their heads out through the fence in hopes of getting a piece of green grass or leaf. As the old saying goes... the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Chicks flock is made up of Gladys, Grandma, Claire, Moe, Sonny, Ella and Ellousie. And of course, Jenny and Josie, our ducks.

Umka
Great Pyrenese Guardian Dog
Hello new friend! I will most likely be one of the very first animals you meet on the farm because I love to greet people at the gate. I bark when someone arrives at the farm because it is my job to make sure Julie & Mina know you are here. I am a Great Pyrenees which is a breed known for exceptionally good skills in guarding livestock hence why I am a bit protective of the farm. I love making new friends and really love a good pat!
​
Butternut
Goat
Hi my name is Butternut and I am an African Pygmy Goat. I am the oldest of the goats and often feel it is my duty to let everyone know this! I enjoy being around people and being involved in whatever is going on, but at times can give some mixed messages when it comes to pats. I might swing my head and make a sound if you try to pet me but don't be alarmed, I'm not trying to hurt you I'm just letting you know that I don't want any touch in that moment.
In Loving Memory
