11 farms you should be following on Instagram
Welcome to cute animal country.
Spring is my favorite season for farm Instagram—it’s when all the animals start to have babies. And it’s not just the sheep, cows, and horses you’d expect. It’s also the barn cats, sheepdogs, chickens, and ducks!
So in addition to the lifestyle porn they generate year-round, farm accounts go into overdrive around now by pumping your feed full of grade-A lamb, puppy, and duckling content. Here’s where you can find it:
1) Big Picture Farm
Very cute wife-and-husband team Louisa Conrad and Lucas Farrell moved to Southern Vermont and started their own goat farm. They sell goat’s-milk cheese and caramels and are also super good at photography. What more could you monsters want?

2) Herdwick Shepherd
As the handle suggests, this guy herds Herdwick and Swaledale sheep in England’s Lake District. In addition to living in a stunning place, he’s also very funny and is great at Twitter and Vine. Bonus: His sheepdog Floss just had puppies.
3) Longest Acres Farm
Farmer Kate posts gorgeous photos of her beautiful Devon cows, Ossabaw pigs, Icelandic sheep, and family up in the hills of Central Vermont.

4) Lily Brook Farm
Nina Fuller raises sheep on her farm in Hollis, Maine, and has a donkey, a mule, and some goats to keep them company. You can stay on the farm via AirBnb, too—which is awesome.

6) Queens County Farm
The Queens County Farm museum in Queens, N.Y., is also a working farm. They have a corn maze in the fall, a petting zoo for kids, and year-round family programming. Also: very sweet animals.
The Barred Rocks are stealing the show these days. #henparty #nycfarm #winter

Another husband-and-wife team, Brian and Jess Powers, run this Hillsboro, Ore., farm and CSA. They produce organic fruits and veggies, plus beef, pork, poultry, and eggs.
