Free Range Art Farm
Welcome to the Free Range Art Farm! We keep bees, goats, and ducks on our little 10 acre farm.
I'm Thomas a 50 plus software engineer who loves to work with his hands. My wife Lulu is the artist. She and I live on a bit over 10 acres in Northern Virginia. We have a dog, a cat, 10 ducks, and a couple of Nigerian Dwarf Goats. We moved to the country in the fall of 2018 and are slowly building out our homestead. We are also potters and I like work on and restore old cars.
You can find us a few ways
