Question 12

Why do you have animals on your farm?

Accepted Answer

Our animals are part of our staff! Like many of our customers, we value the health of the environment and the creatures in it. We believe in regenerative agriculture practices in which animals are meant to be part of the farm ecosystem. Our goats and sheep help manage invasive grasses, shrubs and weeds and clear new spaces for growing. Our chickens help manage and prevent pest problems and are constantly providing healthy organic matter across our farm through their droppings. All of our animals benefit from diverse forage and love being outside. And let's be honest - we adore them all!

Question 13

Can we pet your animals?

Accepted Answer

If you come by to pick up flowers or join an event, you are welcome to spoil our animals with affection and attention! Parents especially love using our farm as a great opportunity to teach animal kindness to children. We are happy to assist kids in feeding and petting the animals during your visit. Our customers love bringing our chickens and ducks peas, watermelon or strawberries for a fresh and safe snack.

Our visitors love giving face rubbies to our goats and enjoy giving them some fresh tree leaves. Our followers also know that our goats also enjoy nibbling on fingers, clothes, zippers, hats, gloves, hair, earlobes, noses and anything that looks interesting. Careful of their horns! Our goats have their natural horns and like to use them to communicate.

Question 14

Why do your goats have horns?

Accepted Answer

Did you know that most breeds of goats and sheep have horns naturally? In traditional farm settings, goat horns are often removed through various methods to prevent injury in large herds. Oftentimes this means disbudding goats about two weeks after birth, using a hot iron or electric debudder. At Dogwood, we chose not to do this process with Clover and Cricket. 
Our sheep are a breed that are typically hornless at birth due to breeding.

Question 15

Do you shear your sheep for wool?

Accepted Answer

Holly Golightly and Petal are both Katahdin sheep, which are a breed of hair sheep. This means that they grow thick wool in the winter but shed it naturally as temperatures warm in the spring. They love rubbing up against fences to help shed out their coats and get their itchies out. See if you can find some wool left behind on their fenceline!

Question 16

Do you sell your eggs?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We sell our eggs throughout the year on a first-come, first-served basis. During the summer, you can purchase them on Fridays and Saturdays from the Flower House when available.

Question 17

I've never had farm fresh eggs before. What do I need to know?

Accepted Answer

You're in for a treat! Our customers love eating our farm-fresh eggs and especially enjoy watching our fluffy-butted chickens free-range on the farm.

Our eggs are unwashed to keep their natural protective coating intact. Since farm fresh eggs are different than store-bought ones, customers love displaying their eggs on their countertops to enjoy all week long.

Your eggs can be unrefrigerated for up to 3 weeks after purchase but can be refrigerated at any time.

Question 18

Wow! Why are your eggs so colorful?!

Accepted Answer

Our customers are always surprised at the rainbow of eggs in our cartons. Did you know that different breeds of chickens lay different colors of eggs? You will often find blue, aqua, olive, and chocolate eggs alongside the traditional tans and whites in your egg cartons!

Fresh. Local. Flowers.
