BIRD & PLANT SANCTUARY
A Natural Area of Attraction for local bird species
Our farm is a nature made Wildlife Sanctuary and has plenty of rabbits, quail, road runners, red tail hawks, chicken hawks, falcons, great horned owl, barn owls, hoot owls, and the occasional sighting of the ever-elusive bobcat.
We are helping preserve sections of flora on 100 acres to help find natural special ingredients from plants.
