The goats, alpacas, and chickens at Silk Fields have long been an enormous draw for farm visitors, adding to the joy and vitality of LexFarm. Silk Fields, located at 7 Farm Road directly behind LexFarm, is a 2.5-acre privately owned property. For over a decade the Silk Fields owners made their animals available to LexFarm education programs, and opened their land to the public. Now the Silk Fields owners are looking to sell this parcel, and LexFarm is working closely with them to find a long-term outcome that will benefit everyone. LexFarm ran a successful Adopt-an-Animal campaign in March 2026, and thanks to the generous support of our community we have taken over care of the Silk Fields animals and are renting the land through December 2026. The long-term fate of the Silk Fields land is uncertain at this time. We know how much this community cares about the preservation of the land and the welfare of the animals, and we are committed to keeping you informed as these circumstances evolve.
