Run-A-Muck Family Farm
How did this happen?
A more self-sufficient farm life is much more than I ever imagined it to be. It is rewarding and fun to see how much my children and husband (and I) love this place! We have a 10 acre farm and it is already run-a-muck with animals and fruit! (hence the name of our farm) We have over 40 chickens, 2...4...6...8 rabbits (lol), a dog, two cats, two goats, and two ponies. We have over 50 fruit trees with Apples, plums, blueberries, grapes, pears, hazelnuts, and the list goes on. We are just starting a huge garden. It is extremely challenging at times and the learning curve is drastic...and each day is a new story. This site is dedicated to our farm life experience and sharing it with others. Enjoy...

What's new on the farm?
New to the farm:
Baby rabbits are ready for homes. We have added a 100% German Angora to our little rabbitry. "Easter" came to us from Margie of Raspberry Farms. Yes, it is beggining to look a lot like Easter here.
Our hen has brooded a few chicks and we have incubated many more. We have some pure-bred rhode island reds available.
Little Nickle has found a home here. He is a miniature pony and stands 39" tall. He is 5 years old and is now in training to give pony rides. He makes a great animal for our petting farm experience.
I now have a big white fluffy bunny named Grace she is a German/French Angora, she came along with her Hybrid Angora baby "Sugar Puff" (Emmett named her). They have amazing fiber for spinning and felting.
