Tom & Nancy |
|
| Tom is breadwinner, barn-builder, and fence-fixer.
Nancy homeschools five of her six children (one has graduated), manages the home, and is the fiber artist. |
 |
Katie |
| Katie graduated from VAST in 2006 and graduated with an Associate's degree in Business from Vermont Technical College in May.
She raises the rabbits and is very interested in color genetics. She is also the webmaster of our site. |
Hannah |
|
| Hannah raises, trains, and shows the llamas. She has trained them in obstacles, packing, and even a little driving.
She also raises the beef cows and is the most "farm girl" of everyone. Her tractor of choice is a John Deere! |
 |
Grace |
| Grace's focus is Border Collies and is currently training her young dog, Click, in Agility and Herding. She hopes to trial him in both eventually.
She was very successful last year in the show ring with her sheep, winning many Champion ribbons in ram, ewe, and flock classes. Her biggest accomplishment was Supreme Champion TWICE! |
Samuel |
|
| Samuel is the only boy, but he holds his own. He loves to make loud noises and is a big tease.
He started cello lessons in October, which he enjoys, and is in our church's choir. He is quite talented musically. |
 |
Esther |
| Esther is also exuberant, though slightly less so than Samuel. She likes to play outside - especially if she has a four-legged friend with her!
She and Lydia have been helping Grace with lambs this year. They enjoy feeding the bottle babies. |
Lydia |
|
| Lydia loves to have fun, though she is also a bookworm like Katie and Samuel.
She likes rabbits and has two of her own - a retired Holland Lop named Champlain and a nice Angora doe named Lani. |
