Well, it's been over 7 years since we moved to a remote off-grid cabin deep in Ithaca's Emerald Necklace, and so much has changed. We quickly found that our forested setting had little to offer our sheep. We knew they would be much happier in greener pastures, so we discontinued our lawn care services and carefully placed them all into good homes. We turned this hunting cabin into a comfortable home with running water and solar power; so comfortable that we decided to start a family, and so well-powered that we have been able to work from home since the beginning of the covid pandemic. We discovered miniature dairy goats, browsers who are much happier with our wooded paddocks, and will soon offer goat soap and lotions infused with essential oils created from herbs grown in our gardens.

Our off-grid experience has been full of false starts and full re-writes, but at last we finally feel like we've found the right path for ourselves, our animals, and the land. Our property is now protected with a permanent conservation easement, the majority of which is set aside solely for the benefit of the natural world.

I hope you'll join us on our journey as it continues to unwind within these hallowed hills. I'll be updating this page regularly and will be offering quality homestead products soon. I hope the past 7 years have been as productive and exciting for you all as they have been for us, cheers!

Hello everyone!! I'd like to apologize for neglecting this page, but we just moved the farm off-grid and no longer have household computers. We both have full time jobs and have been very busy fulfilling our current lawn care contracts. Also complicating things, our wireless contact expired recently and we are still in process of choosing a new provider. We will be back online and reachable by phone in just a week or two. Thank you for your patience and again I apologize for the lack of communication: I see our inbox is full and feel terrible about it. I will get to all of you very soon!!

We need your help naming the newest member of the Ewe Care family! Since our latest lamb was born while our flock was tending The Ithaca City Cemetery, we wanted her name to reflect the place of her birth. And now we want ewe to decide from amongst these meaningful monikers:

The winter of 2015-2016 was so unusually warm that we barely got any snow at all at the Interlaken farm. Finally, on April 3rd, we received enough accumulation to produce some decent snow beards. This is definitely one of my favorite things about being a shepherd!
