Scottish Blackface Sheep - is the most numerous breed of sheep in the British Isles. It is found where conditions are hard and rough. It is known for it's ability to survive where no other breed can. The history of the breed is lost in the past, but there are monastery records of the 12th century, which speak of the black face breed of sheep. The monks used this sheep's wool for their clothing and exported large amounts to Europe.

Heirloom chickens -- Our eggs come from a small flock of heritage/rare breed chickens.  Many rare breed poultry are near extinction, and small backyard flocks like ours help to conserve these breeds as well as genetic diversity in livestock.  The hens enjoy a very healthy lifestyle.  Their diet consists of organic feed and organic vegetable greens that come from our kitchen garden most of the year.  Our hens also free-range daily and are hormone and antibiotic free.  The hens at Green Hill Farm are happy to have lots of fresh air, green grass, and attention.  That is why the eggs they produce are so delicious and healthy-- one-third the cholesterol of “store bought” eggs.
