There are many pictures here at the farm.... There are many photos that have not been taken.... that highlight the beauty of living here. Here are a couple that we did take.

Annabella - Chief Chicken @ Arrowhead Springs Farm

We have 10 chickens, laying hens. 6 are Rhode Island Reds that lay brown eggs and 4 are Arcana hens that lay greenish blue eggs. We hope to be gathering eggs soon. We raised them from chicks that we bought at Wilco this past April. We have revitalized the old chicken shed that Ron's grandparents used to raise chickens over 50 years ago.
