LNL MiniFarm started in 1994 when we bought our first mini horse from Checkmate Farms in Dalton Ga. They really are like Lays chips, you can't have just one. Currently our herd consists of four stallions and fifteen mares. In 2008 with economic uncertainty and concern about the safety of our food supply and what it contains increasing, we decided to broaden the scope of our farm. We have added Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Babydoll Southdown Sheep, crossbred miniature cattle, American Guinea Hogs, a KuneKune boar and bantam poultry to our homestead. Like the miniature horses, these smaller animals have their advantages. They require less land, lighter duty equipment and fences with lower inputs. Also due to their size, they are a great place to start for first time farmers that may be intimidated by larger stock. They also work well with sustainable farming practices. We are raising these for home consumption and to sell to other like minded small and beginning farmers. We have been very pleased with the eggs, milk, lamb, goat, pork, chicken and fish that we have produced so far. Please look around. See if there is anything that interests you, and let us know if we can assist you in anyway.
| Josey and LNL War Eagle were in their first show on Labor Day 2008. Josey worked hard with the little app for a few weeks getting him ready. He was as proud of his ribbon as we are of him. |

| We had our son, Josey, in 2002. He has made the horses that much more enjoyable. He loves the horses. He has been around them since he came home from the hospital. When we had work to do in the barn, he would sit in his carrier and wagon and all the horses would gather around to see him. |

Our stallion B&W's BlackHawk is nice enough to let Josey ride. Valley Head Saddle shop in Ider AL, made Josey's saddle for us. |
| Josey is just three
in this picture, but had already learned what chores needed
to be done each day. He is quick to tell you if you skip something or are late
about doing anything. He is a real stickler for cleaning the barn. If you have
children and have the room, a mini is the best thing that you could ever get
them.

Sometimes, I think that they wish Josey was still in that wagon. |
