For the most current happenings, be sure to check out the Tulip Tree Hill blog.
Our goal here is to run this little piece of the world in as sustainable a manner as possible, while in some small measure increasing self-sufficiency. In addition to the animals, Tulip Tree Hill also consists of a garden, woodland, and art studio.

Olde English Babydoll Southdown Sheep
This is an old fashioned, docile, friendly, small, and hardy breed of sheep. Standing under 24" at the shoulder when mature, they are quite easy to care for. Also known for being "easy keepers", they do well on good pasture in the summer and a high quality hay in the winter along with sheep minerals.
We have lambs for sale in the spring of 2009. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in lambs, or if you just want more information about the breed.

American Buff Geese
Also an old fashioned breed, american buffs are somewhat rare. Less aggressive and more amiable than most breeds of geese, they can easily be tamed and made into friendly pets. Like sheep, geese are grazers and on good pasture in the summer, need no additional feed, making them affordable to keep and raise. They lay approximately 30 eggs per year, from January through June. The eggs are great for baking, and of course for hatching.
We currently have goslings available to sell. If you are interested in them or simply want to learn more about geese, please contact us. |
