About Us

I distinctly remember my first meeting with the goat world. My husband and I were invited to a new friend’s home for a cook-out and upon pulling into their driveway we saw a group of men standing around a newer model vehicle – waving their arms frantically – my husband sat and stared and then looked at me and said “WHAT IS THAT???!!!” – Lo and behold, there stood 2 goats on the hood of the vehicle – refusing to move and looking quizzically at the frantic men, obviously enjoying the results of their mischievousness. I laughed and told my husband – “We have to get one of those……….” and he responded – “WHY?!” That has been our relationship with goats ever since – me – “I have to get one of those……..” and – he – “WHY??!!”……..

    That incident happened over 50 year’s ago. But age catches up with all of us and we are realizing we cannot keep up with our herd any longer and sadly cutting back to a couple does for personal milk until we realize we must sell out completely.  It’s been a wild ride with ups and downs but the dairy goat was a right choice for us on our small farm.  We very much appreciate all the buyers and friends we have met over the years and hope younger ones will come forward willing to put the time and effort and hard work into keeping small farms and homesteads going.

We have home schooled and raised 5 children – each benefiting greatly from the healthy atmosphere of caring for the goats and other farm chores and animals and growing up on goat’s milk and many of it’s by-products. Now we are sharing this wonderful life with 6 granddaughters!  What fun grandchildren are!
