In 2008, Fair Winds Farm will celebrate 30 years of horse-powered, family farming!

Fair Winds Farm is a 42 acre diversified, horse powered, family operated farm. We work together with our horses, chickens, sheep, goats, turkeys, pigs and perennial and vegetable gardens to feed ourselves and our community.

Draft Horses
Jay, Janet and daughter Rebekah run the farm business with the help of many others, including: Bekah's husband, Todd and kids Mayah and Evan, Jay & Janet's daughter Erica and family (Jason, Jonas and Baby Due in October). The farm is truly a community effort, and we welcome the participation of friends Meg, Mary-Diane, John and Joe. Less involved but no less important is Jay & Janet's son Reuben and his
family, Judy and Marie. Through the participation of each of these minds and bodies, the farm evolves to suit its farmers. We thank each for their contributions and welcome you to come and visit.
