The Barns and Animals

The Barns and Animals of Angel Tree Farm

The barns are an important part of Angel Tree. The larger barn is made of solid posts and beams. The construction of both barns is structurally sound, and dates back a hundred and eighty five years!


The barns house chickens, peacocks, alpacas, llamas, and a bunny rabbit. You name the animal and it has probably been raised in one of these beautiful barns.  The back portion of the larger barn has stalls for your animal of choice (in our case, alpacas) with sliding doors opening to all sides of the pastures and fields. We have maintained the roof and store four hundred plus bales of hay in the hay mow. The larger barn also houses our chicken coop. We open the door of the coop and the chickens free range safely in the yard and surrounding area, entering the coop again independently at dusk! The peacocks have stalls and a corn crib on the outside of the barn.

These are some of our beautiful free range eggs!

The second barn features a garage door that opens to more stalls and more pastures and fields. This space could be used for a car, tractor or farm vehicles. We run the entire farm with a four wheeler!
The other side of the second barn is the home to an 1830's blacksmith shop. The original broken stone floor has been replaced (by us) with a rough cut wood floor, and it functioned as our farm gift shop for a period.

The second barn has barn board and plaster walls as well as a primitive work bench made from old ammunition boxes. The blacksmith's forge and fire pit with original flue remain. Another unique feature of this blacksmith shop is a window (again, installed by us) into the barn to view the stalls. The barn has a set of stairs that can be raised and lowered on a pulley system and lead to an upstairs storage area.

When we decided to go into the alpaca farming business we knew we would need to make special time for family. We created a meandering path through the woods to a 10"x18" Amish built cabin in the woods, our own little Angel Tree campsite! It has been the site for the making of lots of family memories and time spent around the campfire.

This farm has meant the world to our family and we will forever cherish the memories we have made here.  Our children have their own journeys now and we plan to recreate a new home for them to return to.

This farm has an abundance of potential for whatever your dream, passion, or plan may be.  Contact us to take advantage of this incredible property and realize your dream of life in the country.

***This farm may be purchased with or without the animals.
