About Us & Our Mission
After a decade’s long journey, that touched many places and cultures, like Germany, New York, The Caribbean, Florida, just to name a few, and included workplaces in the hospitality industry, restaurants and digital design services, we found our little piece of paradise: a small farm in rural Mena Arkansas.
Call: 321-888-6181
The question was: how can we do our part, to make this World a place, where our children and their children can have a safe and sustainable existence, a place that can produce healthy food, in a natural, low waste environment.
Our Livestock
American Blackbelly Sheep
Blackbelly is a breed of domestic sheep that originated in the United States. They are known for their lean and mild-flavoured meat and are becoming more sought after. The blackbelly sheep are very disease resistant and parasite tolerant, and these genetic traits have created a demand for Blackbelly sheep. These sheep can be raised with very little grain, and do not require intensive management.
Kiko Goats
The Kiko is a breed of meat goat from New Zealand with parasite-resistant genetics and excellent maternal traits. Their hardy disposition allows them to thrive in climates where other goats do not. The Kiko breed, coming from a dairy background, is also proving valuable to southern dairy herds in providing parasite resistant dual-purpose dairy and meat offspring.
What’s happening on the land
We are striving for a simple lifestyle that is filled with love, family and improving our quality of living on the land. Building the farm foundation, gardening, raising animals, preparing yummy and nutritious food, canning and preserving our harvest, helps us grow at Angels Rest Homestead.
Our Blog Post has more about what we are doing.
Tending OUR
Land & Livestock
Sustainable Living
Using our own well water, growing vegetables without the use of pesticides or herbicides, raising livestock in an ethical way and avoiding the use of single use plastic, are just a few examples of a variety of ways, we try to create a well rounded sustainable lifestyle that aims to reduce the use of Earth’s natural resources and our environmental impact. Any fruit and vegetables you produce will have a much lower carbon footprint than food you can buy in the supermarket. By composting, we return everything that comes from nature, back to the earth and letting it biodegrade into soil.
Roaming free range
is the best way to raise healthy and happy chicken. A variety of breeds supply us with plenty of nutritious eggs and delicious meat. They are accompanied by some Guinea fowl, the best natural way to keep your tick population under control.
The Herd
Kiko goats are primarily raised for meat production. Did you know that goat is the most eaten meat in the World? It is naturally lean, very nutritious and has a range of health benefits. The meat has less fat, less saturated fat, more iron, plenty of vitamins (Vitamin B and Vitamin B12) and nutrients and about the same amount of protein compared to beef, pork, lamb, or chicken. So other than fish, goat meat is the best meat to consume
The flock
Our Barbados Blackbelly sheep are hair sheep, raised for meat production. A young sheep is known as lamb, whereas mutton is a term used for the meat of adult sheep. Lamb meat provides high-quality protein and all nine essential amino acids your body needs for growth and maintenance. It is also a rich source of many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, iron, and zinc.
