Julie and Slate Brook Farm

[justjules]

Hello. My name is Julie. My husband Tom and I own a small farm in Western NY. I am a Registered Nurse and my husband is a Teacher. We have two boys ages 16 and 17. At Slate Brook Farm we focus on raising fainting goats and llamas along with a number of other animals that have joined our farm since we purchased it in 2005. In this collection of animals we have alsohad a few rabbits. In fact we have been raising rabbitsmostly has pets from the time our kids were small. I have always had a preference to long ears and adored the English lops. In June of this year after some hardlookingI finally purchased my first E-lops and instantly fell in love with them (they can be seen on our web site).Calvin, Isabelle and Holly are a true joy for me. My husband and I also recently joing ARBA and the LRCA and are looking forward toshowing our rabbits in the future. This will be something to keep us busy now that the kids are getting older and will be going off to college. I'm happy to have found this forum and hope I can get to know some other E-lop breeders and learn more about showing. I'm also looking for a rabbit club around our area in that I can join. Julie.

Come on down Jade, we love to have visitors here. It's not uncommon for people to stop by and we have also been visited by our local 4H groups as well. Just enjoy the kids so much. But, make sure you bring animal cookies. The goats will be your friends forever. We were just kinda upyour way back in August. We went to New Hampshire and Vermont. NH was to pick up and goat and Vt was to visit a g/f of mine from highschool. The hubby and Ifell in love with Vt. Just amazing scenery. We would love to buy a farm up there someday. Julie.
