A Pasture-Based, Local Family Farm
Black Willow Pond Farm is pasture-based. Here, the livestock are allowed to be the animals they were created to be - grazing in green pastures, scratching for bugs, simply doing what comes natural for their species! Over years of grazing and working the land, we have increased soil fertility with strict pasture management and intensive rotational grazing. We are extremely proud of the quality forage our pastures provide the livestock.
Keep in mind that while our Katahdin hair sheep are 100% grassfed; the chickens, turkeys and pigs have a monogastric digestive system (similar to us humans) and are not designed to survive on grass only. However they do a great job hunting those protein filled insects! That being said, the poultry and pigs are supplemented with locally-grown, locally-milled feed that is free of antibiotics, hormones, steroids or any of that other funky stuff!

Show Cows
At Black Willow Pond Farm, we take pride in our diverse farm life, which occasionally includes working with show cows when time allows. Our experience with these exceptional animals reflects our dedication to quality care and a love for showcasing the best in livestock. While our primary focus is on our farm's core operations, we enjoy the opportunity to connect with the show community and support these beautiful animals.
Solar Grazing
Solar grazing is an eco-friendly practice that uses livestock, typically sheep, to manage vegetation around solar farms. This natural method reduces the need for mowing, lowers maintenance costs, and enhances soil health—all while promoting sustainable land use. Interested in learning more or hiring our services?
