Thane’s Neck Farm is a small family farm whose inhabitants are trying to live the quiet life as self-sustainably as they can. The animal menagerie is raised for food, fiber and companionship. Organically grown fruit, veggies and herbs feed the family and often the animals too. The children are also raised naturally and enjoy learning all they need here on the farm.
