Farm life: Where the grass is always "WIENER"!

Welcome to Wiener Pastures Botanical. Our little peaceful (well most of the time) slice of heaven where dachshunds run the roost more than our chickens do. Where vegetables and fruit grow equally as fast as the weeds do. A place that is welcome to all. Just come by to sit by one of our three ponds, by the goats, the ducks and chickens or by our newly constructed endless stream, designed and engineered courtesy of our first born daughter. 

 

Wiener Pastures Botanical began in 2017, but truly found its roots in 2024 when mom Silke and daughter Sophie discovered a passion for native plants and habitats. What started as curiosity grew into a mission: to learn, propagate, and share. Today, we offer affordable transplants to help homeowners restore their outdoor spaces into thriving native ecosystems—welcoming back insects, birds, amphibians, and more. Nature needs a hand, and together, we can give it one.

 

Wiener Pastures Botanical is a labor of love.

Wiener Wiener Pastures Botanical is our daily reminder of how lucky we are to live surrounded by nature—and how important it is to protect it. As a family of four, (mom, dad and two beautiful,  respectful, hard working girls) living on 2.5 acres, we’re committed to preserving the thriving ecosystem we call home. Whether it’s watching wildlife, stargazing in the quiet, or simply enjoying the stillness, these moments are priceless. In a fast-paced world, we cherish a slower life—growing our own food, creating with intention,

and embracing self-sufficiency. 

On June 16th, 2026 Wiener Pastures lost one of its founding members. Our beloved Sluggy crossed over to the rainbow bridge. He was two months shy of his 16th Birthday.  He was the most selfless, loyal, loving, goofy boy I had the honor of taking care of. Having been paralyzed at age 5 I became his legs and his main caretaker.  This dog taught me more about perseverance,  tenacity,  joy, and contentment than any textbook ever could. He became my greatest teacher about not letting any handicap stand in your way, what to tolerate and how to live in the moment. 

Run free my most special boy. Until we meet again. Visit me in my dreams once in a while and chase those balls. 

 

A big shout out to Albatross Veterinary, especially Dr. Janelle Stephens,  who came out to the car to give him the utmost respectful and gentle send off and allowed us to take his body home to where it belongs. Forever grateful for this amazing gesture.
