The owner of Silk Fields, the property behind LexFarm housing the goats, alpacas, and chickens, has been exploring development options for the land. Over the past few weeks LexFarm has been exploring various options available to maintain continuity for the animals. At this time we don’t have a clear path forward, but LexFarm is already planning a future capital campaign.
