“Symbiotic Relationship”
Each morning when the goats and sheep are moved to this field, Lightning will stop with the emu to let them peck the hay off his face. He’s the only one who does this and I think it is a really neat routine.

This may not seem like a big deal. Just some trash…but this is in our pasture. If our animals consumed either the balloon or the string it would be deadly.

I don’t know if this was an errant child’s balloon from a birthday party or downtown festival, or if someone released it in memory of a loved one, but please know how dangerous it when it lands on another person’s property. It’s not just trash…it’s poison.

Just a few cute faces from morning chores to put a smile on your face!! We might not be open for visits right now, but I will try to share more of the animals with you here.

Thankful for the McDowell Endowment and their support of Brackett Town Farms!!

The McDowell Endowment Advisory Board visited with Brackett Town Farms Executive Director Nichole Toney this week.

Founded in 2017, Brackett Town Farms has received grants from the McDowell Endowment for both programming and equipment in support of their work providing animal-assisted activities to local residents. The organization serves as a resource to both learn more about animals and to share their therapeutic impact with children and adults alike.

It’s just that time of year. Poor Russell is over trying to show off and has just given up and let go off all of his gallantry.

Until next year…..

Thank you to everyone who has been checking on us! We are all safe. The plane crash was a bit further down the road and didn’t involve any of our properties, land, animals, or family.

Praying for those involved.

Russell is losing his beauty

It got worse before it got better….

All eggs have hatched and are doing great!! Spike has been an AWESOME dad!!! Petrie is letting us know she is being a little protective, but not being aggressive toward us. These little guys are so fun!! #emu #hatchingemu #bracketttownfarms #lifeisbetteronthefarm #animalassistedinteractions #animalassistedactivities #animaltherapy #therapyfarm

Spike, our male emu, has been sitting on 8 eggs for 60 days. Through the past weekend 7 have hatched so far!😳 He’s been a great Daddy and has been patient as we have invaded his space to see the babies. This is our first time hatching our own emu eggs. Now we wait to see if that last egg will give us a full clutch!! #emu #bracketttownfarms #animalassistedinteractions #animalassistedactivities #therapyfarm #animaltherapy #emuchicks #hatchingemu

New babies on the Farm! It has been busy!! #bracketttownfarms

Time to Vote!! #bracketttownfarms

The Farm relies on grants, gifts, and donations for our operating budget. We do not charge for visits and everyone is welcome. One of the programs your support allows us continue is to welcome local developmentally disabled adult day programs for multiple visits each season. We treasure your donations. Roscoe and Jasper are here to PASS THE PLATE and remind everyone that their bowl is empty and they are hungry!😆 (Don’t worry…the vet says they are being fed plenty and it is good for them to be in this grass-free lot for a bit every day so they don’t get too fluffy.)

It has been a wonderful spring, summer, and fall!! We loved having all of our visitors!! Now it is time to snuggle in for the Winter cold. See you next spring!

We have 2 buck Flemish Giant/Continental Giant cross bunnies looking for a new colony. They are already started on litter box training. 2️⃣0️⃣
