Fairywood

Here in the enchanting Fairywood Farm we raise Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, Kune Kune pigs, cinnamon rabbits, and bantam chickens. We love little and cute!

Little Agatha and her twins, now we are in the 5th generation from our world record septuplets, and Angelica is a great-great-grandma 😊

Hey! It's officially kidding season at Fairywood Farm! 🐐🐐🐐
We had five babies from two mamas born last night, just 16 does to go in the next 3 weeks! 😆😅😭
Stay tuned to our stories to see what's new every day!

Did you know each hen's egg is unique? Each hen has her own unique color, shape, and size. Even in the same breed, the eggs will be slightly different between hens. I can usually tell which legbar hen laid which blue egg based on the shape and shade. Is your backyard flock all one breed or a variety? We have done both over the years and have settled on keeping a variety. I love having a colorful flock and a basket full of Easter eggs every morning!

They are just so cute! And growing so fast 😭
I am loving this long-legged little doeling... she comes from excellent milking lines too!

Shallan's babies were a little wary of me after getting their horns removed this morning. Some snuggles and comforting soon had them reassured and bouncy again! They are so cute! I'm enjoying having just five kids and two mamas right now... another month and the barn will be overflowing with mamas and babies!

Happy New Year! Hoping 2024 brings peace and joy 🕊

We are just over two weeks into breeding, and it looks like everyone has already done their job 😄 Besides Posidon, shown here romancing Strawberry, we are using three of our young bucks! Eclipse (Kya x Neptune) is a buckling from this year who is looking so nice I couldn't resist trying him out on our junior doe lineup. Loki (Kya x Baatar) is two years old and I've been watching closely to see if I would like him enough. We just lost Baatar, and I am really liking how Loki has turned out, so he is breeding a few of this year's first fresheners. Mic Drop (Moondrop x Frank) is another two year old I've been watching and liking, so he is in with Kya and Launa! I'm excited to see how babies turn out!

Happy Autumn Equinox! Fall has always been my favorite season. The weather is finally cooler, and the best holidays are coming! There's a feeling of mystery and excitement in the air🍂
This week, we will be traveling to northern climates for a family wedding and then visiting grandkids. That means breeding plans for the goats will be a little later this year, but that's ok - I'll have two extra weeks to decide which bucks to breed some very exciting yearling does to! It's a hard decision! We have two sister pairs - one set out of Prinzess and one out of Opal, as well as a beautiful doe out of Penelope. The future of Fairywood Farm!

Meet Agatha! She is the great-granddaughter of our sweet Angelica. She is for sure one of our keeper doelings this year, fourth generation lovely white and gold with solid milk production 🥛🥛🥛
It's just about time to start breeding for spring! Agatha will wait until next year so she can keep growing, but we are very excited about some of our upcoming plans 😀

A member of the farm that often goes unnoticed but is so important for the vitality and health of our soil. I am always happy to see when some fungus fruits with its beautiful and fascinating mushrooms. I've been watching these develop over the past few days and thinking of the little bit of fairy magic they might be bringing to Fairywood Farm 🧚‍♀️

September is finally here! We'll still have a month or so of crazy hot days, but the cool, cuddly days of fall are on the way!
If you are local and ready to start or add to your homestead goat herd, please reach out! We have availability!

Goat smiles in the morning are the sweetest 😄
Goats are so curious and will follow you around, often wanting to get involved in the task (usually not in an actual helpful way 😆). I was taking pictures of the little babies in the pen next to her when Lindy popped up to see what was going on. She seemed to want her photo taken too, so here she is 💕

Happy birthday, Blue!
Blue is our oldest goat and the very first doe we brought home when we decided to rebuild our herd. She turned 10 years old on May 5th! We have had her since she was 6 months old, had reserved her as a baby, but had to wait to get through our reset. She has been such a valuable member of the herd and family! Her kids are always an improvement and very flashy and dairy. She is Prinzess' mom, and Prinzess is probably my most favorite doe we have ever produced here!
🤎
In this picture taken a few days ago, Blue is with her single doeling from this year.

This has been a very busy spring here at Fairywood We had 49 kids born to 19 does, all in the middle of both of our sons getting married!!

We have everything from quality milking lines to pets, all available registered with ADGA, all dams are on 305 day DHIA milk testing so you know just what is behind these babies production-wise. Please reach out to us if you are wanting to add to your herd, get started homesteading with a nice herd-package (2 doelings, 1 buckling with discount!) or just want some adorable farm pets!

I have to share this beautiful arrangement made by my very talented friend Ruth . Knowing we were having a Hobbit themed wedding, she had the idea to make something whimsical using driftwood. I happened to have this really cool piece collected by my Oma years ago. We have used it for displaying everything from nature gatherings to fairy houses over the years, so it was very special to have it turned into a wedding centerpiece. I am always so enchanted and amazed at what Ruth includes in her arrangements! I love the moss, the roses and tulips, delphiniums, and snapdragons, but my favorite in this one was the mulberry branches complete with little berries. She just knows what is meaningful and so very personal ❤️

No need to color eggs for Easter. The hens are doing that for us!

We'll still dye a few for the fun of it, but these natural eggs are just so pretty!

We may not do a lot with our horses, but I love the gentle ways they have woven into our life. Our son Robin grew up playing in this field, running barefoot through the neighborhood down the ditches, riding the ponies, and adventuring with his friends. It was tender for me to watch him and his beautiful bride on their wedding day, taking a quiet moment to greet the horses.
🤍
There is something so peaceful about horses grazing in the background, their soft nickers of greeting when offered a carrot or apple, their eager, velvety muzzles pushing in to your hand, manes tossing, ears flicking toward you, eyes half closing in pleasure when you find that perfect spot on a fuzzy neck to scratch, then back too heads down in the green grass 🤍

Another sweet goat family moment ❤️
This is Jasnah and Shallan, Prinzess' daughters from last year. They do run around the pasture independently and have their own friends, but when it comes to relaxing time, they are always together 👯🏽‍♀️.
I don't usually keep two out of the same litter, but Prinzess is one of my most productive milkers with such a sweet personality, and these girls were both so pretty that I just couldn't decide! Also, naming them after two of my favorite fictional characters made it hard to separate them 😅 (Brandon Sanderson fans will be able to guess which is which 😉)
I'm excited to breed these two later this year, and I'm hoping we can time it so they raise their babies together 🥰

Just a happy pig munching on clover! Luella is still here and so are we. It's been a busy fall for the family, we have a new grand baby! The farm is slowing down a bit as we transition to a new phase of life being grandparents to soon 6 grandkids! We want to focus more on traveling and family. Of course, the farm is a great way to build memories and experiences for the little ones, so we'll keep it at, just at a slower pace than in years past. We have only bred 5 goats for spring.... that's a change from the 20 or so we've bred the past few years! We'll also be downsizing the herd quite a bit over the next few years, so if you're local or traveling to Arizona and want to add any Fairywood goats to your herd be sure to let us know! . . . #kunekune #farmpig #farmlifebestlife #lovemyfarm #familyfarm #providentliving #minipig #farmasmr #backyardhomestead #suburbanfarm

April scenes on Fairywood Farm 💐 All the mama goats have had their babies (except Ruby, who likes to keep us waiting 😆) The roses, irises and jasmine are in full bloom, the days are getting longer and warmer and the fridge is full of milk again 😋 . . . #backyardhomestead #suburbanfarm #farmlifebestlife #babygoat #familyfarm #nigeriandwarfgoats #dairygoat #goatsofinstagram #goatsofig #goatjournal #everybodylovesgoats #happyfarmily #barnbabies

I love rainy days on the farm! My work is a little harder, but the excitement of a storm and the sweet, fresh feeling that comes after is so, so good. Oh, and we never sing "rain, rain, go away...." 😄 . . . #backyardhomestead #suburbanfarm #farmlifebestlife #backyardflock #summerinthedesert #zone9b #dairygoat #desertrain #lovemyfarm #cottagecore #farmcore #growyourown #goatsofinstagram #everybodylovesgoats #goatsofig #greenwitchcraft

We planted a little passion fruit vine and the gulf fritillary butterflies have already made a home 🧡🦋 . . . #backyardhomestead #suburbanfarm #farmlifebestlife #backyardflock #summerinthedesert #zone9b #butterflies #gulffritillary #butterfliesinmygarden #insectphotography #growyourown #greenwitchcraft #sustainablefarming #slowliving #slowlivingforlife #organicgardening

Happy Tuesday! It's warming up here in zone 9b, but that means the hydrangeas and trumpet flowers are in full glory! I'm trying to get the morning chores done earlier and earlier to beat the heat. The goats don't mind this weather at all! They love soaking up the sun and warmth🌞 Also, an abundance of milk and hot weather means it's homemade ice cream time! So far this month we've made strawberry, pistachio, and strawberry-raspberry. 😋 . . . #backyardhomestead #suburbanfarm #farmlifebestlife #babygoat #nigeriandwarfgoats #dairygoat #goatsofinstagram #everybodylovesgoats #goatsofig #goatjournal #babygoat #zone9b #growyourown #greenwitchcraft #sustainablefarming #slowliving #slowlivingforlife
