On the farm
Sheep
We are the proud owners of a small but growing flock of American Blackbelly Sheep, an uncommon breed developed right here in America that are among the hardiest domesticated ruminants on the planet
Turkeys
Turkeys have returned to Grateful Akers! In 2018 we added 3 Narragansett turkeys to the farm: Moses, and his 2 ladies Zipporah & Tharbis. Our flock has since grown, and we're excited to offer poults and eggs from this beautiful heritage breed each spring
Goats
Our 6 goats are Wynona, Fiona, Sage, Fern,Theo, and Garth. They're a mix of Pygmy & Nigerian Dwarf. The goats hold a special place in our heart, as Wynona & Fiona were our first farm animals and the inspiration for Grateful Akers
Bees
Not only do we raise locally sourced bees for honey and pollination, we also offer honeybee removal services for concerned citizens with unwanted swarms or hives on their property
Chickens
We sell both eggs for both eating & hatching. Our permanent breeders include Ameraucanas and Crested Cream Legbars, however we offer other breeds sporadicly
Miniature Donkeys
Dozier and Atticus are our ridiculously handsome miniature donkeys. They mow the pasture, keep the other animals in line, and help our Livestock Guardian Dogs chase off intruders, predators, and snakes
