Our Goats

Our purebred Nubian goats are the backbone of our little business from their creamy milk to the compost they add to our garden beds; our goats are constantly bringing joy to our lives. After many years of raising goats, we have learned to love and appreciate each of their unique personalities.

Meet Sharon, the herd queen. Sharon was born in 2022, and is sweet, mischievous, and a wonderful companion.  After deciding to keep her, we began teaching her tricks! She was a rapid learner and quickly learned to shake, kneel, jump, nod her head, and go around us on command. We also taught her to lead and we would take her on our family walks, which was fun and got lots of comments from the people driving by. Sharon gave birth to her first baby in 2023 and we were blessed to get to witness the birth! We have actually been able to be with her every time she’s given birth, which is rare since the goat’s labors are usually so quick!

Sharon has given us lots of delicious milk over the years that we have had her and we look forward to spending many more happy years with her.

Pricilla is a sweet, gentle, well behaved, and somewhat shy goat, who was born on our farm in 2023. She is a beautiful combination of her mother’s hardiness and her father’s showiness. She has given birth to three beautiful babies and has given us many gallons of sweet, creamy, milk.

She is the easiest to milk and whenever we do blind taste tests her milk always wins!

Valley Fern (Fern for short) is our rescue doeling.

She was born in 2024 and started out healthy and strong but because she had trouble nursing from her mom, she got very weak. A couple days after she was born, we noticed that she was very weak and looked almost dead. Although the situation looked hopeless, we refused to give up so we grabbed a bottle, squirted some of her mom’s milk into it, and got a little bit of milk into her. About a half hour later, Fern moved a little and let out a faint bleat. As the day progressed, Fern continued to grow stronger so by evening we took her back to her mother but unfortunately, she smelled too much like humans by that time so her mother wouldn’t take her back. We ended up bottle feeding her and later decided to keep her.

She is now a healthy, sweet, mischievous, doeling. We taught her to lead and now we enjoy taking her along on our walks as well.

Otis came to us in 2024 after a tragic eye infection left him traumatized and with only one eye. After several months of gentle handling and the company of our sweet does he is now friendly and will let us pet him! He is now the proud father of our third-generation goat babies.

We have raised our goats holistically since 2017. With the use of pasture rotation, dry lotting, and forage we mimic nature where we can, and supplement with herbs and minerals. We are now milking our second generation of goats and are reaping the benefits of natural management.
