After we purchased the Farm and started clearing decades of neglect and overgrowth, we stumbled upon a red boat in the middle of the woods. The Red Boat has become our "Rally Point", our spot to stop and eat lunch or sleep under the stars. We are still in the process of clearing and cleaning but we have LOTS of plans for Red Boat Farm! So, check in with us and watch us grow.

Priscilla, the Mangalista sow is doing a great job with her new litter of 7 piglets! Her field farrowing instinct is incredible!! Even with the past few cool nights we’ve had lately, she has kept everyone alive.

Dinner time! These guys are doing great!! Priscilla made a nest in the nasty from the previous caretakers mess, it's actually impressive. Our barrow brought her cedar limbs for a little camouflage.

🌼💛 “Hello, I'm a dandelion.
A lot of people call me a w**d but I'm a friend and come to help you!
My flowers are the first food for insects after hibernation and unlike most other plants, I have pollen AND nectar, not merely one OR the other! And I am generous with them! 🤪😉
When you see me, remember that I'm the ONLY one who wants and can grow in that particular spot. Because:
Either the soil is too compact / hard / stomped and I want to loosen it for you with my roots.
Or there is too little calcium in the soil - don't worry, I will replenish that for you with the dying of my leaves.
Or the soil is too acidic. But I will also improve that for you if you give me the chance.
Or a mixture of the above reasons, of course. 😊
I'm here because your soil needs my help so best you let me grow without disturbing me! When everything is fixed, I will disappear again, I promise!
Are you trying to remove me prematurely with my root? However meticulous you are, I will return 2x as strong! Just until your soil is improved.
You can even tell by my growth at which stage my help is at. If my leaves are flat on the ground then I'm far from ready but if they all reach up then I'm already a long way on my way.
Something completely different is that I am 1 of the first bloomers in spring so I will announce spring / summer for you.
During the day when it's hot, I open my flowers but in the evening when it cools off I close them again quickly. In fact, if it's not hot enough during the day I won't open them at all!
My flowers are even delicious for you people by the way, did you know? I used to be called ′′honey (or gold) of the poor′′ because my flowers are so sweet in e.g. jam, sauce or salad! The internet is full of recipes - check them out.
But wait until the end of May or later before you start picking and even then, don't pick everything yet! The biodiversity and bees will be very grateful!”

Our Story

After we purchased the Farm and started clearing decades of neglect and overgrowth, we stumbled upon a red boat in the middle of the woods. Thus became the name, Red Boat Farm. The Red Boat has become our "Rally Point", our spot to stop and eat lunch or sleep under the stars. We are still in the process of clearing and cleaning but we have LOTS of plans for Red Boat Farm!

We are now in year 2 and we’ve added Belted Galloway Cows, Longhorn Cattle, Kunekune pigs, Royal Palm Turkeys, Goats, Lots of Chickens, Guineas and Katahdin Sheep. We are still clearing and cleaning. Our latest project has been to add a couple of chicken pens for growing and breeding specific breeds including Barred Rocks and Speckled Sussex. Our “hobby farm” has become a full-time job of Stacey and continues to grow with David working off-site to fund our projects. We hope to be able to build a house and live here full-time in the coming years.
