Life on the Holler: Meet Our Barnyard Crew

Our barnyard is a lively, sometimes chaotic, but always heartwarming place. From our big, gentle horses to our feisty little ducks, every animal here has a story. They’re more than just farm animals—they’re part of the family..

Chicken

Our egg-laying queens keep us stocked with fresh eggs and endless entertainment. They scratch, peck, and chatter their way through the day, ruling the roost with confidence.

Ducks

A little chaotic, a lot of fun! Our ducks waddle around, quacking up a storm and keeping our garden pest-free. Plus, their eggs make for some of the fluffiest baked goods!

Horses

These gentle giants are the backbone of the barnyard. Strong, intelligent, and full of personality, they bring a sense of rhythm to farm life—whether grazing peacefully or trotting through the pasture.

Pets

Loyal farm dogs keep watch over everything, while the barn cat silently oversees operations, keeping pests in check and finding the best sunspots for naps.
