My family and I take great pride in offering locally made, lovingly curated farm goods. From start to finish, each product we offer is created with love and care. It's an honor to share our abundance and serve our community.
Our animals are fed transitional organic grains and no-spray hay, and benefit from a comprehensive free-choice mineral program. Each animal has access to a buffet of over 21 individual minerals, allowing them to choose and consume according to their seasonal needs. We believe that healthy, happy animals are essential in providing a nutritious foundation of health for all people.

Our Animals
Petal
Aka "Queen Bee," aka "Boss Babe."
Petal (2018) runs the show. She's friendly, maternal, and wise, but heavily food-motivated. Be sure to watch your toes--if you're in the way between her and her next snack, she'll not bother herself with walking around you. Always the first to the grain bin when a jail-break opportunity presents itself.
Clover
Aka "Rodeo." Clover (2019) was in her first freshening (first year in milk) when she came to my farm. Us both being new to the whole process, chaos ensued. We spent many early mornings and late nights playing tag and ring around the rosie (or in this case, the milk stand). Never underestimate the pulling power of a goat. A year and a half later, we have an understanding, she and I. I give her "the pets," the treats, and the all my attention, she allows me milk in return.
TigerLily
Aka "Eeyore." Tiger Lily (2017) is sweet, calm, and docile. She's a bit shy at first, but a quiet moment spent with her, and she just melts into you. Tiger Lily never complains or demands anything, and is always most remorseful when reluctantly taking part in Petal's monthly (weekly) jail-break attempts.
Delaney
The definition of sweet and friendly. Delaney (2020) was one of my best impulse buys, after convincing myself I definitely needed to drive to Iowa to add another doe to my herd. I struck gold with this girl. Our journey has just begun.
Juniper
Aka "Grass Puppy." Juniper (2022) was our first "keeper," born on our farm. From the beginning, I knew she was meant to stay with us. She comes to our call, and is eager to please. I cannot wait to see her continue to grow and mature. Gorgeous, sweet girl.
Goat's milk is a nutritious alternative to cow's milk, with several health benefits. It is easier to digest and less allergenic than cow's milk, making it a suitable option for people with lactose intolerance or mild milk allergies. Goat's milk is also rich in calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Additionally, it contains medium-chain fatty acids that are easy for the body to absorb and use as energy. Overall, incorporating goat's milk into your diet can promote overall health and wellbeing.
why goat milk?
Mini-Nubian goats are a breed of dairy goats that are a cross between Nigerian Dwarf and Nubian goats. They are known for their friendly and docile temperament, as well as their high milk production in proportion to their smaller size. This breed marries the high butterfat content of the Nigerian Dwarf with the sweeter milk of the Nubian goat.
Mini-Nubians have floppy ears and come in a variety of colors. They are a great choice for small farms or backyard homesteads.
