We do ask guests not to feed any of the animals on the property. As a working farm, we do grow our own food, which includes harvesting animals from time to time. We use electric and barbed wire fencing to contain animals on the property and within certain areas of the farm, be aware and cautious around the fencing. We have a working Livestock Guardian Dog on the property, who works during the night to keep our livestock safe. So far, Winnie has been sweet to all humans she meets, but she is always working and should be left alone. The house and the farm are under renovation, but we have carved out an area exclusive to the RV and our guests.
