Old Redding Farm
John and Catherine are a husband and wife team from Redding, Connecticut. We grow food and flowers on just under 2 acres of property, but we just bought 40 acres of land and are working on building our small farm from the ground up using reclaimed materials whenever possible.
We have chickens which we raise to have a colorful egg basket, have a small herd of alpacas (Pumpkin, Mocha, Marshmellow, Maycee, Linda, Connie and Sophie), and three dopey Great Danes (Pepper, Peanut and Pebbles). We also keep honey bees and will be looking forward to making maple syrup next year!
You can follow our wacky adventures here and on Instagram @oldreddingfarm and our website at http://www.oldreddingfarm.com
