This area is a reconstruction of the area where Rika raised silver
fox. She also kept cows, sheep, goats, chickens, duck, geese, rabbits,
honeybees, and a yoke of oxen to work the grain fields. Rika used
the wool from the sheep, made butter and cheese from the goat's
milk, and raised chickens and ducks for eggs and meat. A 1929
Travelogue of the Richardson Highway described Rika's as "a
commodious roadhouse boasting of such luxuries as fresh milk and
domestic fowls."
Today chickens, ducks, geese and turkey are kept in a pen on the same site. Feel free to feed them grass through the fence or watch
them as they parade around the grounds. We also raise livestock each year.
