LOCATED 45 MILES SOUTHWEST OF DULUTH, MINNESOTA AND LAKE SUPERIOR AND OFF OF 35 W INTERSTATE.
WE LIVE ON A DAIRY FARM THAT HAS BEEN IN OUR FAMILY FOR ABOUT A 100 YEAR'S. OUR GRANDPARENT'S CAME FROM FINLAND AND SETTLE HERE IN KETTLE RIVER, MINNESOTA AND OUR PARENT'S TOOK OVER FARMING IN THE 1950'S AND HAD 8 CHILDREN, 7 BOYS, 1 GIRL.
SCENE THEN OUR BROTHER'S ROGER AND ROBERT TOOK OVER FARMING AROUND 1975. NOW ON TO DAVID HAVE BEEN IN POULTRY HIS WHOLE LIFE RAISING LAYING HEN AND SUPPLYING EGG'S FOR PEOPLE AND WORKING OUT FULL TIME. DAVID A WOOD LOGGER STARTED ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, WITH THE PURCHASE OF TWO PAIR'S OF PEAFOWL, HE STARTED OUT WITH A PAIR OF INDIA BLUE AND A PAIR OF BLACK SHOULDER.
IN 2001 & 2002 WE LOSS BOTH OUR PARENT AND I MADE THE PURCHASE OF A COMPUTOR AND LOGGED ON TO TRIED AND FINE OUT MORE ON PEAFOWL, BOY DID WE FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS ALOT TO LEARN, WITH TRIAL AND ERROR WE WERE ABLE TO HATCH AND START RAISING OUR OWN PEAFOWL, BUYING PEAFOWL FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES IN COLOR'S THAT WE HAD NO IDEA WERE EVEN EXISTED. WE HAVE THEN JOINED THE UNITED PEAFOWL ASSOCIATION AND HAVE TALKED TO OTHER BREEDER LEARNING MORE AND THAT THERE IS ALOT OF PEAFOWL RAISER IN THE UNITED STATE.
LIVING IN THE NORTHLAND OF MINNESOTA CAN BE VERY TUFF ON PEOPLE AND PEAFOWL AS WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE OUR PEAFOWL ARE UP OFF THE FROZEN GROUND AND IN THE SHELTER THAT TAKE THEM OUT OF THE FREEZING NITE TEMPERTURE THAT CAN DIP DOWN INTO THE -30 TO -40 BELOW 0 TEMPS. OUR PEAFOWL GET WATERED ONCE TO TWICE A DAY IN THE WINTER, THIS IS THE HARDEST PART ABOUT WINTER FROZEN WATER IN THE WATER DISHES, THAT NEED TO BE KNOXED OUT EVERY DAY TILL SPRING SETS IN.
AS SPRING SETS IN I AWAYS GET ALL OF MY PEAFOWL WORMED BEFORE THE BREEDING SEASON SETS IN, AS YOU LOOK AT MY WEB SITE YOU WILL FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF WORMER WE USE, MAKING SURE THAT WE WORM EARLY AS WORMER WILL KILL FERITILITY IN PEAFOWL.
