We are rebuilding Webb Acres. This little slice of paradise was once home to our beloved alpacas (which we had to rehome a few years ago), chickens, and black labs: Homer, Luna, and Hooch of blessed memory. Now, our Golden Pyrenees, Booboo, is the patriarch. Honey and Maple are our recently adopted lab-mix sisters, and they fit right in at Webb Acres. The girls adore Booboo, and the feeling is mutual! My husband, Jim Bob, and I are now starting a Dorper sheep business with quality, registered lamb and ewes. Our goal is to have our sheep available for students to show at livestock shows. With my love of all things camelids, we now have two llamas – Athena and Adelphi – to protect the sheep. In the spring, once Jim Bob rebuilds the chicken coop, we will buy chicks and once again have free-range eggs. There are still many alpaca-related products, and an online shop will be added soon. Blog posts will also continue to be a major focus of our life on Webb Acres.
We are finally working on making Webb Acres a viable homestead. It is exciting, challenging, and heartbreaking at times. Webb Acres Homestead blog documents our journey.
