What would a family farm be, without the family?
The Energetic Boss
Lisa and Kit heading into the Winter Pasture
Hello, my name is Lisa Dachinger and I'm a first generation farmer. I became a farmer because I'm passionate about feeding my family the freshest and most nutritious food possible.
Over the past 20 years my farm has grown from raising vegetables and eggs to growing the finest grass-fed lamb, pork and veal and serving families and individuals from the Berkshires to New York and Boston.
My greatest reward is hearing how happy and satisfied folks are when they are visiting and exploring the farm or when eating and enjoying our all natural products. I can't wait to hear from you.

Jenn and Jynx hanging out in the North Pasture
Well hi there! I'm Jennifer Petricca, the one and only amazing daughter to Lisa. There's nothing better then getting up on a frigid winter morning to mom yelling up the stairs "JENNIFER! WE'VE GOT BABY PROBLEMS, LET'S GO!" *sigh* that's my reason for being a farmer. In fact, it's really all my fault that we have all these critters. Mom may have started well before I was born, but- It's all on me as to why we have all the sheep we have. It all started with a market lamb. ;]
My job is not only to work and maintain this wonderful website, but also to run around doing various farm things. I train our three Border Collies, I run from the cow in fear for my life, I ride my adorable horse, I move the sheep from pasture to pasture, I drive the tractor to and fro, and of course with license in tow- I run errands.
Did I forget to mention I'm only a Junior in high school? Oh yeah, I'm amazing, I know.
