HOBBY FARMERS & SMALL-SCALE PRODUCERS

KEEPING YOUR SMALL HOLDING HEALTHY

Whether you care for a few cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas or pigs, our veterinarians are here to help you keep your animals healthy and your farm running smoothly.

We understand the needs of hobby farmers and small-scale producers are different from large commercial operations. We know that animals on small farms are often part of the family. We aim to provide down-to-earth, respectful and tailored advice, whether you're new to farming or an experienced smallholder.
