Not surprisingly, it takes a team to run a farm and we have some very dedicated and talented staff members. Ricardo is our farm foreman. He grew up on a farm and managed the family goat herd. His wife, Maria, has a true "green thumb" and manages the farm's garden, makes cheese and assists in the B & B.

Grandkids...Sometimes the berries even make it out of the fields

Kids and grandkids make up the balance of the staff on a seasonal basis. Holidays and summer vacations provide us with a chance to connect with children and family members that love to pitch in with chores. Having a farm is also the perfect place to invite our "city slicker" friends to visit for a dose of the kind of reality show that does not exist on television.

Needless to say, we also get some help from some of our four legged friends. Our Labrador retriever, Annie, keeps the occasional varmints at bay while our Jack Russell, Fuzz, is in charge of gopher control. Fergus, the llama, guards the goat herd while our donkey, Gabriel heads up the "grass conversion program".
