Who we are

Welcome to Leaky Barn Farm — a small, lovingly run farm in Northeast Georgia. Here, we raise a small herd of Harlequin sheep and tend to rows of fragrant lavender.

We bought our 1880s farmhouse in 2019 and have been restoring it ever since — one crooked floorboard and, yes, one very leaky barn at a time. Life here follows the slow, steady rhythm of the seasons… mixed with a fair bit of chaos as we do our best to keep up with Mother Nature’s ever-changing plans.

We spend our days caring for our sheep, goats, chickens, and honeybees, nurturing the lavender fields, and doing our best to keep our Australian Shepherds from herding everyone (including us) straight toward the treat jar. Our farm is also home to a senior dog who runs the household with quiet authority… and more cats than we’re willing to count.

Thanks for stopping by our little corner of the world.
