Welcome to Beavertides Farm
Even when nature is at rest, these pastures and woods are full of overwintering birds, wildlife and our own furry goats and sheep munching on hay and foraging in the snow.
Come live this beautiful place with us!

Monthly Musings: January at the Farm

How To Dress Your Family For A Winter Outdoors

Recipe: Slow Braised Lamb Riblets

Welcome to
Beavertides Farm
We are so happy you’re here.
Here on our farm we sustainably raise sheep, goats, and about a million honey bees. Around the homestead we keep chickens, guineas and geese, milk our sweet family cow for raw milk in our kids breakfast and grow enough vegetables to keep our pots full throughout the year.
Honestly, it’s kind of magical here. Magic works so much better when it’s shared, and we’d love to do that with you.
Come learn about keeping bees, eat the most sustainable meat you can find, learn about homesteading and spend some time with us.

Raw Wild Meadow Honey (1lbs)
$18.00Our wild meadow honey tastes like all that blooms in these lush diversified pastures and wetlands full of wildflowers, berry bushes and fruit trees.
We only harvest a very limited amount of honey each year to leave plenty for our bees to overwinter. Our honey is hand harvested, hand spon and hand jarred.

Goat Hides
$120.00These hides have not been posted officially, but have been selling quickly at the farm and on social media. If you’re interested in a hide, send us an email and I’ll send you pictures of the hides we have left. Be quick, because only a few of them are left!
We use these beautiful hides everywhere around the farm; besides our beds, on our couch, on top of a chair, to cover a bench. Besides their beauty, these hides offer us the opportunity to honor our animals by not let anything go to waste.
