Samaki Imbwa du Nord is our Avian Acquisition Specialist.  Maki’s primary duty is carrying and retrieving things, but she has assumed the temporary duties of Chief of Security.  As a junior member of our health maintenance team, she still performs all the Lab work.

Matilda the Hun(ey) is our receptionist. Tillie came to us from an unknown galaxy, materializing on Earth in the wheelwell of a car in a large office complex.  An accomplished huntress, she provides homeland security against mice and voles.  As head of our health maintenance team, she performs Catscans, and does lap visits.  She oversees the catnip harvest and quality control.

Kitty Lu is our new Product Testing Technician.  Rescued from a dumpster in sub-zero weather in The Old Country, she is the traveler.  Kitty Lu has lived in Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, Kansas, and North Carolina before joining our staff.  She will begin cross training on Homeland Security this Spring.

Meet our Embryo Production Team: They consist of Speckled Sussex, Plymouth Barred Rock, Buff Orpington, Delaware, Rhode Island Red, Gold Laced Wyandotte, Silver Laced Wyandotte, and Black Austrolorp hens, plus one ornery rooster.  Their collateral duties include keeping the insect population in check. The rooster’s career path will include providing fly-tying materials.

In Memoriam

Callapooia Rose du Nord: 10/11/2005 – 10/27/2010.  We lost our Chief of Security in October in a heartbreaking misfortune. Callie was beloved by everyone.  Besides being the Earth’s premier retrieving Basset Hound, she kept intruders away and cleaned up the windfall apples.

She was the soul of our staff.

Sydney, May 1995 – 12-5-11

Our eldest staff member succumbed to advanced maturity in December.  Born on the waterfront in Juneau, he held our staff to high standards during his entire lifetime. His product testing skills are legendary on our farm.  He rests with Callie.
