meet our animals
The Goats
We have a small but mighty herd of goats who love to meet new friends, perform paddock gymnastics and scratches behind the ears. Meet Peaches & Zuzu the Registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Maisie, a Mini Nubian and Dolomiti (Dolly) the Cashmere Goat. These goats help clear brush, provide us with goat milk and they bring us joy with their boundless energy & antics!
The three little pigs
Ruby, Blueberry and Uncle Ryan were the first four legged farm animals to become part of the Ferngully Farm Family. These three characters serve three purposes on the farm...clear heavy brush areas, eat all food scraps, and entertainment!
The Sheep
Sheep are gentle, cautious creatures. They were the second four legged creatures to walk this farm with us. Eliza is a full Katadhin, her twin children, Laszlo & Nadja, are half Jacob. They serve as beautiful lawn mowers and fertilizers. If you are very still, you may just get to feed them their favourite treat of sunflower seeds.
The chickens
The gateway animal...CHICKENS! We began with six fluffy chicks in 2015 and have since grown our flock to 50+ birds. At Ferngully, you can find chickens of all shapes, colours and sizes. With both egg laying and meat breeds, our chickens are a valuable part of the farm that help to provide us with nourishment, income and pest control.
The ducks
Ducks are messy and loud but oh so funny! We have a flock of heritage breed ducks that can often be found splashing in a puddle or sun bathing in a quiet spot. They provide us with duck eggs and are head of pest control.
Holland lop bunnies
The newest addition to the farm, Mr. Huggy and Bunny Judy! These two adorable bunnies are friendly and cuddly. Aside from being pets, these bunnies will help fertilize the garden with their poop and will be bred as they get older.
