OUR STORY
Dynkleton Farm is about making our dream a reality. Our dream came from learning an extremely hard and devastating lesson. We purposefully purchased our home in a right to farm community that is zoned Agricultural with the intent of having a small hobby farm to earn a little extra income with a roadside stand of eggs and produce. We spent 2023 renovating our home and had a baby. In the beginning of 2024, we started our small hobby farm by purchasing baby chickens, guineas, ducks, and geese. I had a bad spout of post-partum depression and raising these chicks is what got me out of my depression. My husband and I were having the time of our lives caring for our animals and starting our hobby farm as we were both on paid family leave for child bonding time. We purchased 3 baby Nigerian Dwarf goats and found ourselves living our happily ever after. In the blink of an eye, our hard lesson began. In June of 2024, we received a phone call from the town code enforcer stating that a neighbor complained about the animal noise from our house. He continued to inform us of the town code that you can only have livestock if you have 6 or more acres, and we had only 1. Yada, yada, yada, special use permit application, town board meeting and the board only let us keep 10 laying hens. We got shut down 2 weeks before we were going to start our roadside stand. We were devastated as we had to piece out our flock that we raised as well as the goats. We were lost, depressed, and could no longer enjoy our home, especially our backyard oasis that we made. Even our livestock guardian dog, Dynk (Dynkleton is his formal name) was distraught. He lost his purpose and began to get very destructive. We did not let ourselves wallow for long, learned our lesson, and our dream of Dynkleton Farm was born. Dynkleton Farm, LLC is a startup all-natural farm that will produce and process crops, animals, and animal products into farm to table artisan specialties with funk and flare. We are currently located in my home in Appleton, NY and have plans to lease a farm to vastly expand our products offered.
