Welcome to Violet Hill Farm
Preparing for Change of Seasons
Fall weather and the coming winter months means, lots of farm chores in the near future. That means, making sure shelters are appropriate, hoses removed where possible for freeze prevention and ultimately animal security and health.
Good on all fronts here!
Violet Hill Farm is a small boutique farm located in the countryside outside Lexington, Kentucky. This is Blue Grass country, known for its pastures which improve bone health of Thoroughbred Racing Horses as well as fatten alpacas and sheep, and contributes to strong, soft fiber.
The farm is my dream come true - a home in the country, surrounded by wonderful, rich animals and a chance to explore what the earth can create. My goal is to build a farm that raises animals for fiber and soil amendment (manure), hosts honey bee hives for healthy pollination and honey, raises specialty fruit and flowers, and of course free range farm fresh eggs! I also hope to share this love with others through the bounty of my farm location, and education.
I host visitors of all ages, especially children and young people. At my farm, you'll be exposed and touch livestock and poultry up close. You can see where raw fiber grown on the animal, how yarn is made and what happens when manure is composted. Plus you can get to know the animals, touch them, feed them and learn of their unique personalities.
Plan a visit to meet my menagerie of dogs, cats, alpacas, and fiber sheep. The alpacas love treats and the sheep are always curious. Come introduce your family to the farm and allow me to share my knowledge of gardening, farming, animal husbandry and the agricultural life. This farm is a Climate Smart Wool Producer, a member of Kentucky Proud and practices good soil management.
