Barberic Farm

Barberic Farm = Old skills, Tasty food, Lovely wool, Good music.

Barberic Farm, Eric and Barbara Goodchild, are sustaining the skills and lifestyle their parents & grandparents had: growing what they need, making useful things, preserving delicious food, selling the fruits of their efforts at local markets, seeking to honor God, and help their neighbors.  They raise mainly grass fed, registered Romney sheep for breeding stock, meat and wool, and have a large, no-pesticides vegetable garden.  From these using family and friends’ recipes, they produce delicious frozen lamb, frozen meat pies, frozen fruit pies with local lard crust, preserves (jam, jelly, marmalade, pickles, relishes, fruit sauce), popcorn, eggs, honey, wool, handspun yarn, and sheepskins. In addition, they offer hand-tooled leather work, hand-forged items, highland bagpipe lessons, bagpiping for private gatherings and performance, and playing based piano lessons.

Barberic Farm’s sheep are mainly grass fed. The sheep get a small amount of whole grains for training and health. Antibiotics and wormers are only used when needed. Pastures are grazed using a management-intensive grazing system to minimize the sheep’s exposure to parasites, and improve the vegetation’s health. The sheep’s manure is composted and used to fertilize Barberic Farm’s large vegetable garden. The vegetable garden is pesticide free.
