welcome to
Grateful Akers Farm & Apiary
small family farm specializing in American Blackbelly sheep, hatching eggs, and honey
Humble roots, new beginnings
It all started with 2 goats in an overgrown backyard, and took off from there. Though we didn't bring them home with the intention of starting farm, the joy we found working with livestock spurred our passion for self-sufficiency and sustainability. Now 6 years and 2 farms later we've expanded from a couple of goats in a small suburban backyard to over 100 head of livestock on 26 mountaintop acres.
As we've progressed through the learning curves of first-generation farming, we've moved away from breeding goats and for the past 5 years have mostly focused on American Blackbelly sheep, Hatching Eggs, and Honeybees. While we still have a few sentimental goats that call our farm home, when it comes to sharing the fruits of our labors we've found that sheep, poultry, and bees align best with our goal of becoming more self-sufficient and sustainable.
