About
Missing Willow Farm sits on 20 acres of heaven in SW Virginia, behind a half mile driveway, overlooking a private pond. We’re retired engineers with a small flock of sheep we keep for fleece and lamb and a few adorable chickens who give us fresh eggs.
Our farm got its name in 2007 when my brand new birthday weeping willow tree disappeared within a week of planting it. As it turns out, we have (er… had) a beaver problem.

Love your farm, love your animals, LOVE your dogs! With all those ribbons you won at the fair –surely I’m going to glean some how-to goodies. Are you going to post recipes?

I found your blog yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed! We also got some good ideas for our place. I have done canning, jellies, cheeses, chickens for many years. I am curious of what breed the roosters were that you “put out to pasture”. They were beautiful. Looking to get new chicks soon to replace older hens.. I like New Hamps, Wyandottes, Bantams, Production Reds. We are looking to get back into goats….just love ’em. Haven’t tried sheep but if lucrative may give a try. Anyway, have a great season! – Joanne

Wondering where I can get the little bottles for the dandelion “fluff”

Hi Marsha, you can order them from Alpha Stamps and I’ve also seen them in the jewelry section of Hobby Lobby.

Connie, Good to see you on-line. You mentioned a mantle in your new house? Did you leave the Missing Willow?
