Welcome to the Kathy Ann’s Farm family! Read on to learn more about our family and our farm.
Our Mission
Kathy Ann’s Farm strives to raise happy, healthy poultry and livestock and to create natural products for craft lovers and for our canine friends. We also raise quality Livestock Guardian puppies that go on to guard farms and livestock.
Our History
Officially established in 2017, Kathy Ann’s Farm is a small fiber farm just outside of historic Waterford, Virginia. Kathy Ann’s Farm started off with chickens, guinea hens, and a few Nubian goats in 2013 and has now grown to include a flock of Shetland, Gotland, and Finn-Icelandic sheep, emus, two cows named Ella and Dulce, some cashmere goats, two alpacas named Sherlock and Watson, three Livestock Guardian Dogs named Voltaire, Calypso, and Rooster. We are members of the Loudoun Beekeepers Association and the Virginia State Beekeepers Association and have started a small apiary with hopes to have honey in the future. Currently, we sell eggs, jams and jellies, bone broth for dogs, wool and fiber products, seasonal plants, and baby sheep, goats and chickens.
Loudoun, VA Made. Loudoun, VA Grown.

Kathy is a mother of four and when she’s not working, farming, or raising kids you can find her in the garden with her flowers and vegetables.

Rooster is from Voltaire and Calypso’s fall 2020 litter, born on September 5th. He is training with poultry, waterfowl, and currently guards our Angora goats. When Rooster isn’t training he’s napping or getting cuddles from his humans.
In addition to these team members we must acknowledge the family and friends that have gotten us this far. Kathy Ann’s Farm would not be where it is today without the help and support of our friends and family from Bluebird RIdge.
