Eager Beaver Damage
Damage from a eager beaver in Wisconsin
The Farm 4285 State Highway 57, Sturgeon Bay, WI (920) 743-6666
The Farm in beautiful Door County, is a special place.
A quote about The Farm in the Reader's Digest book, Off the Beaten Path says it best:
"Children and adults as well, are likely to be charmed, entertained and educated."
The Farm is a delight for people of all ages. As a living museum of rural America, it is a blending of cultural, historical, agricultural, ecological, recreational and educational values. Every year, The Farm virtually explodes with newborn and new-hatched creatures. Goat kids, piglets, foals, calves and lambs are born throughout the season; chicks hatch everyday in the observation incubator.

Beavers are known for their natural trait of building dams on rivers and streams, and building their homes (known as "lodges") in the resulting pond. Beavers also build canals to float build materials that are difficult to haul over land. They use powerful front teeth to cut trees and other plants that they use both for building and for food. In the absence of existing ponds, beavers must construct dams before building their lodges. First they place vertical poles, then fill between the poles with a crisscross of horizontally placed branches. They fill in the gaps between the branches with a combination of weeds and mud until the dam impounds sufficient water to surround the lodge.
