Hi! We're Melissa and Sean Bramble, and Hermit Thrush Hill is
our small homestead.
Our goal is to approach self-sustainability
while maintaining breeding groups of as many appropriate
heritage breeds of livestock as possible. Through natural,
chemical-free methods, such as pasture raising, we intend to offer
our animals a happy, healthy, and productive life.

We started Hermit Thrush Hill because we believe that the
industrial agricultural practices in our country are environmentally
unsustainable, disrespectful of the animals we rely on for our
nourishment, and detrimental to the genetic diversity of
agricultural plants and animals, which directly impacts human
health.

We are happy to offer some of our animals, plants, and seed for
sale, as well as other products we produce. Please feel free to
explore our site to learn more about our homestead and heritage
breeds in general.
