Who We Are

  • Hi! We are Robin and Chris Abbott. We are homesteaders who moved to the North Country in 2023 and immediately saw a need for small ruminant land-clearing on our own 6 acres of land. There were steep embankments that hadn’t been tended in many years, a Japanese knotweed infestation in several areas, and a creek we could not access because of vegetative overgrowth. We have been so pleased with the open park-like results, the improved soil quality and the pleasant interaction with our animals. All without soil-damaging heavy machinery or toxic chemicals! We want to offer this wholesome service to other landowners, businesses and non-profits. If you've read this far, we'd liek you to know that Banjo was our beloved family dog while our two kids were growing up.

Labyrinth.jpg
A labyrinth is a tool for meditation and contemplation. It's not a maze and you can't get lost. Just start walking where the path meets the edge, and follow it to the center. Pause to relax and notice how you feel, then start back out. Walking the labyrinth takes 10 minutes, but more if you do it right!

Coming in 2025!

We will be sheep shearing for small flocks. Are you a homesteader with just a few sheep? We can offer service on YOUR schedule.
