Bluebirds play a significant role in protecting crops from insects and helping ensure a reliable food source for people. Farmers will often install bluebird houses around agricultural fields to encourage bluebirds to feed on insects that can otherwise destroy crops.

Bluebirds can be loyal residents and will return year after year to raise new families in the same birdhouse.

Due to snakes seeking out newborn chicks to feed on, the bluebird houses have been mounted on metal rods with baffles to inhibit the serpents ability to reach the chirping baby chicks.

In addition to the bluebird houses, some songbird houses have also been installed at locations around the farm.

These bird houses are yet another example of our commitment to supporting and protecting wildlife on our farm. We also provide food in winter and water in summer to assist with immediate needs, including migrating hummingbirds.

Our farm is certified for wildlife and pollinator habitat, and is a registered stop on the national Butterfly Highway Project.
