Welcome! Heart's Pasture is a small naturally-focused and biodynamic forest farm nestled among the pines, oaks, and maples of Northern Michigan, just 15 minutes North of Petoskey, MI. Nigerian Dwarf Goats munch on maple saplings and guinea hogs root in the underbrush while chickens scratch and peck in the shade of ferns. Moving through the woods, these animals work in harmony with nature and each other.
At our farm here in Michigan, you will find the following breeds of livestock:
These animals are kept under the watchful eye of the following breeds of livestock guardian dogs:
We chose these particular breeds for their high quality heritable traits and adaptability to thrive on our northern Michigan woodland farm. This includes strong milk production in our goats, plenty of lard on our hogs, an inclination to lay eggs all winter long in our chickens, and top-tier working abilities in our dogs.
