The farm specializes in pastured livestock raised without hormones or antibiotics, including cows, pigs, chickens, laying hens, and turkeys/geese (in season), and vegetables grown without chemical pesticides. This is in addition to the farm’s ongoing collection of horses, dogs, cats, and an abundance of wildlife on 138 beautiful acres near Shenandoah National Park,
