Five Cardinals Farm


2558 Plain View Ln., Plain View VA

Our Animals

Betty & Hazel

Jersey Dairy Cows

These two Girls joined our farm when they were only a few days old. They love attention and pumpkin treats.

Maggie

Idaho pasture pig

Maggie came to us already pregnant. She gave birth to six sweet piggies and is an excellent mama. she is our first breeder pig.

Tom

Bronze turkey

Tom is our stud breeder turkey. Instead of the thanksgiving table, you’ll see tom strutting around the farm with his ladies.

willow

Great Pyrenees

WIllow is our livestock guardian dog. She works mostly at night but does an excellent job chasing off predators.

Farm Rabbits

New Zealand Rabbit

We have multiple rabbits on the farm. They provide us with great manure for the compost / garden! In the spring / summer, you may see them on the pasture in their little rabbit tractors.

Layer Hens

Variety of chicken breeds

Our layers love roaming the pasture. We keep them safe at night in a chicken coop and give them locally grown non-gmo feed for supplemental food. The mixed breeds also give us a rainbow of egg colors.

Useless Ducks

Pekin Ducks

These two male ducks are pretty much useless on the farm. Prior to our guard dog, we had a fox problem on the farm and unfortunately lost our female ducks. now without mates and the inability to lay eggs, these boys just waddle around the farm. (update: we have added more ducks but these guys are still useless)

Barn cats

cats

The first animal we added to the farm was a barn cat and because of a stray tom cat, we now have several cats. They all have names and are great at keeping the mouse and mole population down. They are very domesticated and love attention.
