Silk Tree Farm: A Labor of Love a Long Time in the Making

Cathy Bardsley’s journey to becoming a livestock farmer began in 2008 when she bought her first goat, a Nubian named Shelby. From that modest beginning, this homesteader-at-heart now raises a multitude of heritage breeds including Red Wattle hogs, Spanish goats, Narragansett turkeys, Black Jersey Giants, Silver Appleyard ducks and Freedom Ranger chickens. Cathy is enthusiastic about raising heritage breed awareness, helping in her own way to keep these varieties thriving. Learn more in this local farm spotlight by volunteer writer Pamela Thompson.
