Meet T-Bone, a cow like no other. While some might call him a bull, we call him a melon loving troublemaker with a heart of gold.

Not to be overlooked, Rex is T-Bone’s certified bestie. (Read about our newest cow Scarlett for the latest drama…) At least 15 years old and full of spunk, he stands in the pasture with his golden mane blowing- some have likened him to Bon Jovi. Keep your eyes out for Rex’s signature run, it’s quite a delight!

Rita and Maria are a family unit within the larger family unit of The Good Earth Farm. Mama Maria looks after her daughter Rita (Margarita for long) although with their innate protectiveness and ferocity they can handle themselves. While you can mostly find them lounging in the pasture growing their big bellies even bigger, know that they’ll protect the farm with their stomping legs at any cost (we hope).

What else needs to be said? Weird Harold, believe it or not, was once the smaller pig and faced the intimidation of his brother Charlie. Now Harold carries the sibling duo with his strange charm and midday splash in the mud pit.

Charlie, though his name doesn’t suggest it, is also weird. These brothers are maybe the biggest pigs you’ll ever see-- weighing in at over 2000 pounds. That being said, Charlie still enjoys his sunset walks through the pasture with his fellow farm animal friends.

Jeff will say that there was something magic about PB. Her playfulness, intuition, and compassion endeared her to all the inhabitants and visitors of the farm-- there are many videos of her racing around the farm and trying to get Nancy’s attention from the garden. We were lucky to share the rest of her life with her at The Good Earth Farm, her final resting place.

A newer addition to TGE farmily, Miles is on a perpetual diet. He is sassy and slow moving, paling around with his sister when he’s not rooting around for fresh snacks.

Sydney holds the status of a house inhabitant. She adores her morning walks with Nancy, and will happily spend the rest of her hours sleeping upstairs or barking at the wind. She’s as loyal as a farmer could ever hope for, but those who have seen her whine in a storm understand her tenderness and need for love.

If you knew Buck, he was one of (for Sydney and Pepita’s sake) the best dogs. He was gentle, fierce, loyal, obedient, and loved his belly rubs. He took care of many newly arrived baby animals by protecting them from harm and potty training them in an intuitive way. He seems to have cared as deeply about the farm and its inhabitants as Nancy and Jeff do themselves, and he was a great friend to Nancy for the many long, solitary days of farming. He will forever be a part of The Good Earth Farmily.

Felix means “lucky” in latin, though Felix doesn’t seem to need luck to thrive on the farm. While he’s a love bug who vocalizes his desire for affection to any passers-by with hands for petting, he can also be seen prowling the fields for rodents and carrying dead birds in his mouth. He is a mainstay character of the farm and likely to make himself seen and felt by many farm visitors.

What a funny guy- named after Jacques the first, a sassy silky rooster with an unforgettable singing voice.

The Little Women are in fact big, noisy, ferocious, and ruthless. They are a powerful gang of sisters (Louisa May Alcott, anyone?) who are trying their best in the world. In this world, they are trying their best to scare everyone away from the farm, which isn’t entirely desired by Nancy and Jeff. So, when you see them, know that they’re more squawk than snap, and they’re just fulfilling their life-purpose of protecting their land.

Bert has become famous on the farm for successfully hatching secret baby chicks and protecting them through the brutal SD winter. She’s a powerhouse hen, a heck-of-a momma. When you see Bert, give her some oos and aas and don’t get too close to her babies!

You wouldn’t know it by looking at him, but Kevin is an incredible athlete. He jumped from a moving truck to find his way to freedom at 3 weeks old. Kevin arrived wrapped in a blanket with only his little snout peeking out. His little body was covered in road rash. He healed quickly and made friends with all of the animals in the little red barn.

Bubbles is our leading goat lady. Don’t her her demure nature fool you. She’s not above headbutting her roommates to get them out of the way of food.
