Welcome to Winford Pond Farm! We moved here after my husband retired from 25 years service in the Army. We are originally from Oregon, but fell in love with NC, and made it our new home.
     I am a member of AGA, ADGA, The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, The American Poultry Association, and The American Buckeye Club. While I have not shown any of my birds yet, I have poultry from some of the best breeders in the country.
     My Buckeye chickens come from Pathfinders Farm/Laura Haggerty, Jaime Duckworth (both of whom took part in the original ALBC Buckeye program) and Hall Family Farm. I have Sussex chickens in light, coronation, and silver. I have Orpingtons in blue, and lavender. One of my newest projects have been the Transylvania Naked Necks, and I hope to have hatching eggs for sale next year. I also have Cotton Patch geese. I obtained my original flock from Dr. Tom Walker, the man credited with saving the breed. I am working on White Midget turkeys, as well.
     All of my poultry are heritage breeds, and some, like the Buckeye and the Cotton Patch, are critically endangered. I am very proud to be part of the effort to help save these breeds.
     Jason and I started the farm to become a little more self-sufficiant. We love this area, love being in the country, and love all of our trees. Between the farm, and jobs, we like to hike and garden, and work with the animals. I particularly love growing herbs, and am working on becoming a certified herbalist.
