Animal Sanctuary

Millstone Farm is home to several pedigreed female alpacas formerly owned by Lloyal Nordstrom McMillan, granddaughter of department store magnate John W. Nordstrom, in Washington State. Hard financial times forced McMillan to put the animals up for auction. The organization Llama Reserve spearheaded a national campaign, raising funds to rescue the animals. Buttermilk Falls’ proprietor, Robert Pollock stepped in to adopt the group, furthering the Farm’s reputation as an animal rescue sanctuary.

Apiary

Millstone Farm would be lost without its hives of Honey Bees. Worldwide bees pollinate more than 80% of all plants! Millstone Farm is home to 8 hives and works with local beekeepers to keep them healthy and strong. Bee Colony Collapse has plagued many hives in the area. Millstone Farm offers awareness and education that will provide bees a future free of this enigmatic disease.
