Scottish Highlander Hairy! She is 21 years old and going strong..I think it is all the fruits and vegetables she gets as treats! This time of year the best treat is wild apples. I play a game with her and hide them in her hay! Actually I do that with most of the apple loving animals around here. They love apples. I pick up several 5 gallon bucket fulls every day...chop them up and feed to Reindeer..ponies..cows...donkeys and goats. #laboroflove #northeastkingdomvt #harryourhighlander #vermontreindeerfarm #reindeerkeepers #Vermont
Sooooo adorable baby ducks swimming! #reindeerkeepers #northeastkingdomvt #Vermont #vermontreindeerfarm

Starting tomorrow we will be having summer day campers here! This is one of our stations..it is called Wilderness Camp. Campers will be able to play camping here. When I was little I loved pretend cooking with leaves...flowers...bark...seeds..dirt etc. John and I have created this special place for kids to just play...use their imagination and enjoy being outside. We are excited! We do have a few spots left for our Art Camps those campers will have access to this Special place to. Contact me for a Camp Registration form!
Remember that old 1943 Manure Spreader we bought? Well Poppa has it up and running! Spreading poop on the fields fertilizes them and makes them a better field...and it helps us use up all the Manure around here! Poop is big deal around here!
Fresh grass for out donkeys! Such a treat! It has been sooooo hot the last couple of days..hoping today is a bit cooler for animals and me.This humidity really wears me down fast...so hard to work and breathe in this heat.#ourdonkeys #Vermont #reindeerkeepers #vermontreindeerfarm #northeastkingdomvt #donkeysofinstagram
