Why Visit Northern Blue Bird Farm?
Northern Blue Bird Farm is a dynamic farm with many different types of livestock and crops. Students can watch and pet a variety of animals, collect eggs from our laying hens, help with the gardening and learn how plants grow in our greenhouse.
About our Farm
Northern Blue Bird Farm was started as Blue Bird Farm in 2014 in Whitehorse, where we raised 20 laying hens and 20 meat birds. In October 2018, we bought the existing North Wind Farm, consisting of 160 acres of farmland 15 km North of Mayo. Since March 2019, we have called our farm Northern Blue Bird Farm.
We raise animals, grow crops, and handle all of our administration on the farm. Currently, we have 3 batches of laying hens, producing up to 35 dozen eggs per day, plus the year-round rabbitry and our Toulouse geese. We sell our eggs and meat year-round in Mayo, Dawson City, Whitehorse, Stewart Crossing, Pelly Crossing, Carmacks, and Braeburn.
