Farmsitting
A trusted farm sitter isn’t just a convenience—it’s a lifeline for rural families who rarely get the chance to step away. At Free Bird Farms, farmsitting is more than checking boxes; it’s about showing up with experience, heart, and a deep respect for the animals and land you’ve built your life around. With over 15 years of hands-on farming under her belt, Mary Ann McColl brings calm, capable care to every animal and chore, offering you the freedom to leave home with confidence—because your farm is in the hands of someone who treats it like her own.
Education
Get your boots dirty and your hands busy with Free Bird Farms’ hands-on learning experiences. Led by Mary Ann McColl, these workshops and on-farm sessions teach real-life skills like milking, hoof care, chicken keeping, and composting—all rooted in over 15 years of sustainable farming. Whether it’s a kid’s first egg collection or an adult learning to wrap a hoof abscess, Mary Ann creates an approachable, unforgettable space to connect with animals, the land, and the knowledge it takes to care for both.
Photography
Mary Ann McColl brings a farmer’s eye and an artist’s heart to her photography, capturing the quiet beauty and honest moments of rural life. From livestock portraits and working farm shots to lifestyle sessions that showcase your land or brand, her deep understanding of animals and environment helps put everyone—two- or four-legged—at ease. Whether you’re looking to document your farm, promote your business, or simply freeze time in a season worth remembering, Free Bird Farms offers photography that feels as real as the life it reflects.
