meet our animals
The Goats
We have a small but mighty herd of goats who love to make new friends, perform paddock gymnastics and nudge you for scratches behind the ears. Meet Peaches & Zuzu the Registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Maisie, a Mini Nubian; and Dolomiti (Dolly) the Cashmere Goat. TTogether, they help clear brush, provide us with milk and inspire laughter and joy with their exuberance & playful antics.
The three little pigs
Ruby, Blueberry and Uncle Ryan were the first, four-legged barnyard animals to become part of the Ferngully Farm Family. These three characters serve several purposes on the farm including: clearing heavy brush areas; eating all our food scraps; and generating lots of entertainment.
The Sheep
Sheep are gentle, cautious creatures. They were the second, four- legged creatures to join us on our farm journey. Eliza is a full Katadhin, her twin children, Laszlo & Nadja, are half Jacob. They serve as beautiful (and quiet) lawn mowers and natural fertilizers of our land. 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! Friendly and cuddly, these two adorable bunnies can’t wait to meet you. You may be surprised to learn that they too have a role to play on the farm….they help fertilize the garden with their poop and will be bred as they get older.
