Fable Hill Farm

I am a natural health professional turned stay-at-home mom running our small 10.2 acre farm in West Michigan. We raise show quality Nigerian Dwarf goats, Muscovy ducks, chickens for eggs and meat and tend our raised bed and in-ground garden during the summer-fall. If you're interested in HOLISTIC LIVESTOCK management, this is the place for you!
