Big Dreams Farm
 

Big Dreams Farm and Ranch is family owned and operated, specializing in following our dreams. We, Eric and Christie, met 10 years ago and immediately shared the dream of owning land and animals. We moved to Wisconsin (from Alaska) fall of 2005 and began living our dream of raising a family on a farm. Currently, our focus is on grass-fed meats, horses, and preserving home-grown fruits and vegetables.

During summer months, our cattle and sheep graze on native grass while we supplement hay in winter. Although not certified organic, we utilize organic-type practices. We vaccinate against worms and common disease and if an animal becomes ill we treat to eliminate suffering. We do not feed steroids, hormones, or any other type of growth- enhancing products. We grain our show animals, but these are not used for meat. Our livestock is considered Heirloom breeds. These rare breeds exhibit more resilience to disease, climate conditions, and leave smaller footprints on our environment than their commercial counter breeds. See tabs at the top of this page if you’d like to learn more about Scottish Highland cattle and Jacob sheep.

Our true passion of horses develops more everyday. Currently we own five horses and foster one who is looking for a lifelong home. Christie entered her first endurance horse race and Eric looks forward to ranch horse versatility events. Recently we adopted 2 horses & a pony from the Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation (see our links). We will offer boarding and training after the new barn is complete. You will find more information under the horse tab.

Big Dreams Farm and Ranch is a dream in progress. Thank you for visiting our site. Please contact us with questions, comments, or suggestions! Thank you, Eric & Christie
