Erika and Patrick McCarthy have been breeding and raising goats since 2012. In the Summer of 2014 Mini Minions moved from Ramona, California to Newport, NC and in Summer of 2016 we moved to Lowman NY. We have purebred and registered Nigerian Dwarf does and bucks. On the farm we also have 1 Kinder doe a few Angora goats the occasional hog for home grown bacon and pork, honey bees, chickens, turkeys

, ducks and guinea fowl to round out the menagerie. We started as just a farm to help support our food needs and it has morphed into farm that is educational and helps the community learn and experience agricultural with hands on experiences. Milking demonstrations are common as well as almost daily messages and calls to help answer goat questions. We are always willing to bring the farm to the community if people can't come and visit us. Trips to elementary schools and nursing homes ahave become a tradition to bring farming back to the old and introduce farming to the new generations.

Looks like Mini Minions has grown by a few thousand. DD commented that there were a lot of bees... I said yep that's a swarm! Waiting for the ladies to move into their new pre-fab home and we'll cart them down to a more permanent location. woo hoo! And even better... no stings. Honestly, in the dozen or so swarms I've captured. I think I've only been stung once. Swarms are very docile and are more concerned in finding a home than defending essentially, nothing.

And out pops 2 more! A black n white buck and another cute doe! Well done Diamond! No wonder you were so wide!!!

Lmao. Even the feed store knows I run late. I just got congratulations for showing up at 4pm... not 455 when they close at 5pm lol I love Ward and Van Scoy in Owego, NY. Great feed and fantastic customer service! If you can't joke with your customers, than what's the point of being in buisness with farmers!

Looks like with WILL have peaches this year! The last frost had us scrambling to tarp up the tree with a propane heater. Apparently some hard work has paid off!

So, with the weather getting chilly Darla got chilled on a windy night despite fluffy bedding and the fact she pulled down her door covering. She will be spending the winter in the kidding pen, to say warm. I was mucking out her pen and she came out to explore a bit. Apparently that bottom step is the perfect height for scratching lol. Silly pig!

Lisa just after she gave birth to four babies (three boys and one girl). Delivered in about 20 minutes total, way to go!
