February is National Lamb Month! As we continue our celebration, we want to check in with an Alabama farm that is known for everything: flowers, agritourism, backyard chickens, and even Babydoll Southdown Sheep.

Natasha McCrary of 1818 Farms joined RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander to talk about her operation, what makes the Babydoll Southdown Sheep so unique, and the floral aspect of her operation.
