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 and raised 20 laying hens and 20 meat birds. In October 2018 we bought the existing North Wind Farm, 160 acres of farmland 15 km North of Mayo. Since March 2019 we have called our farm Northern Blue Bird Farm.
Raising animals and crops, as well as all administration, takes place on the farm. In 2025 we will raise two batches of meat birds, 20 pigs, 50 turkeys. Actually we have 3 batches of laying hens for an egg production with up to 35 dozen eggs a 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.
