PEACHES
BREED: Miniature Horse

ISABELLE
BREED: Pot Belly Pig
HER MOTTO: Don’t worry. Be Happy!

THE CHICKENS
BREED: Mixed Breed Chickens
THEIR MOTTO: Live and let live!
ABOUT THE CHICKENS: We have 3 different varieties of curious and fun-loving chickens living in our Sweetwater coop. All of them are rescues and have found a forever home here at Sweetwater Farms!

BLUE
BREED: Rocky Mountain
HIS MOTTO: What you believe—you become.
ABOUT BLUE: Blue can do just about anything. He can pull a cart, walk in a parade, plow a field, or carry a two year old on his back with surprising gentleness—and, he’s one of the sweetest animals on the farm.

ROSEBUD
BREED: Miniature Horse
HER MOTTO: Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
ABOUT ROSEBUD: Rosebud is the daughter of Peaches and one of the most resourceful animals on Sweetwater Farms. If there’s something she wants, not much can stand in her way from getting it.

DEWEY
BREED: Pot Belly Pig
HIS MOTTO: Do the right thing…even when no one is looking!
ABOUT DEWEY: Dewey is the son of Isabelle and clearly she raised him right. He is a respectful, obedient, sweet little guy that loves basking in the sun on a warm day.

SASSY & ANNIE
BREED: Ancona Duck
THEIR MOTTO: Home can be anywhere as long as you’re loved.
SASSY & ANNIE: We sent out a request to the universe for a small animal to come to the farm (we were thinking more along the lines of a rabbit) but instead came Sassy, a month old, blind duck. We soon realized that she was quite capable of taking care of herself but all she really needed was a friend. Carolina Waterfowl Rescue answered our request and so Annie came home to Sweetwater Farms to be a forever friend to Sassy.

SUNSHINE (SUNNY)
BREED: Halflinger
HER MOTTO: Even on a cloudy day, the sun is shining somewhere.
ABOUT SUNNY: What a joy it is to have Sunny with us at the farm. Halflinger’s were originally bred between Austria and Italy as a sturdy mountain pack horse but today they are known for their peaceful temperament while carrying a rider or pulling a wagon.

PEE WEE
BREED: Miniature Sicilian Donkey
HIS MOTTO: Me…is all I need to be!
ABOUT PEE WEE: Pee Wee is one of the characters in the Sweetwater storybooks and the biggest practical joker on the farm. Even when he’s mischievous, it’s hard not to laugh.

CORDUROY, FAITH, DENNY, & MERRY
BREED: Miniature Goat
THEIR MOTTO: When you’re curious you find lots of interesting things to do. (Walt Disney)
ABOUT CORDUROY, FAITH, DENNY, AND MERRY: Families can come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors and that sure does hold true for the caprines at Sweetwater Farms. Two brothers and two sisters make up our little goat family and they couldn’t be happier sleeping in their charming goat house or checking out the activity on the farm as they lay under their umbrella in their own backyard.
