Hello, I am
ELI
Born and raised in Providence RI, Eli was brought up in a family with dogs & a red-bellied parrot. After culinary school & over a decade of experience, Eli grew fond of the idea of raising his own protiens for his own family, community & kitchen ventures.
Hi! I'm
ANNA
Anna being raised all over the east coast, she always had an assortment of “small” animals in her household. Mice, rabbits, dogs, parakeets, fish & even a rat, Anna always had a longing for something... Bigger perhaps? After attending The Farm School in 2005 she knew working in agriculture was a goal for her.
Eli & Anna Ingendahl
"What made you want to be farmers?"
Eli: "My love for animals is what inspired me."
Anna: "I attended the Farm School for the first time with my school in the 5th grade, I knew right then and there it was the life for me."
Link to the Farm School website below;
"Which animal is your favorite and why?"
Eli: "Polly the Romney/Finn sheep is currently at the front line of personalities I enjoy spending time with. She’s definitely one of the sweetest characters on the farm.”
Anna: "I try and change my answer at least once a year because it does change… The current favorite is a lamb named ‘Calypso’, she is a Finn/Cormo/Dorset/VBN cross. A pure fiber mutt if you will. Originally I hadn't planned on keeping her but her personality stuck with me so she is here to stay."
"If you could have any animal, what would it be?"
Eli: "Camel, because my wife says I can't.".......
(In the state of Maine a permit is required to own a camel Eli...)
Anna: "If they were happy living in captivity, who wouldn’t want a tiger. But let’s get real, they should never be held in captivity."
