Paisley’s Pasture was founded in 2009 with the birth of my first child, Paisley . Becoming a stay-at-home mom inspired a dream — to give my children, a hands-on farm life experience where they could learn responsibility, compassion, and what it truly means to care for another living being.

Our journey began with Borracho, our first miniature Scottish Highland bull. From there, the farm steadily grew to include more miniature Highlands, as well as ducks, laying hens, horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, and KuneKune pigs. Every day, my children are involved in the hard work and heart of farm life — from mending fences and delivering piglets to nursing sick hens back to health and gathering eggs — learning through experience and proper husbandry. 

At Paisley’s Pasture, I am deeply committed to preserving the gentle nature and beauty of the Scottish Highland breed. I maintain a closed herd to protect the health, and exceptional temperament of every calf. My cattle are raised naturally alongside their mothers in open pastures, cared for with patience, respect, and a deep love for the breed.

Alongside my Highlands, I also open our farm to a few special rescues who have become part of our extended family — including two Sulcata tortoises who have found a forever home here. Every life at Paisley’s Pasture — whether born here or lovingly welcomed through rescue — is valued, protected, and treated with unwavering compassion.

Today, Paisley’s Pasture LLC is a small, family-run farm built on the principles of stewardship, dedication, and heart. It’s an honor to share a glimpse of this life with others who appreciate the beauty of raising animals the way nature intended.
