These 4 ladies are officially within their “safe” window to have their babies! Ideally they will hold off for 5 or more days to reach their full due dates, but babies born at anytime after today would have an excellent chance at survival. Any guesses on who will kid first?

Toddy (Painted Feather CC ClassicHotToddy) likes his water direct from the tap. 😂

Join us for OUR 4th SEASON OF BABY GOAT CUDDLES!!!

We will be hosting sessions starting mid-January on Saturdays from 1-2 pm and Sundays from 10:30-11:30 am through the end of May.

Take some time to relax and unwind with some baby goat cuddles while supporting a local small business and farm.

Thank you to all who have booked. Proceeds will be used to purchase hay and feed for the herd and cover day-to-day expenses to keep the farm operating.

Additional dates are available through the end of May.

Please note that sessions are limited in size, so we recommend booking early to save your spot.

Tickets are available for purchase here:

Leave the stress of everyday life behind and escape to our urban farm for a 1 hour goat cuddling session where you can hold, pet and feed our goats (goat babies too!) Enjoy an hour of laughs, snuggles and quiet farm sounds while making memories and enjoying the outdoors. We provide chairs and blanke...

I always feel like somebody’s watching me! Faith is always on guard; especially at night. Some candid shots from her working tonight. Not even the stealthy owls get past Faith!

Feed prices are no joke and just keep rising.

Happy 2nd birthday to Verona and Chip! Verona is due to have her first kids February 25th!

So proud of this pretty girl! She was at a major disadvantage of being a first freshener who had a single kid, didn’t get milked until over 40 days after she kidded AND she moved from the only farm she’s ever known AND all the hurricanes and she still showed up every day and put that milk into the pail! Can’t wait to see how she milks this next time around. Join us in congratulating Rite Choice Hazel “Hazel” on unofficially earning her milk star! Congrats on your well deserved and earned milk star, Hazel! ⭐️

We’re at less than 30 days to go until our first set of does are due to kid! First kids should start hitting the ground around 1/3/2025 for the first 4 does. Next set of does is due first of February with another group due end of February, end of March and waiting to confirm last set due early April.

We’ve been busy rebuilding from the hurricanes and are almost ready to welcome these new babies and the New Year. Babies means GOAT CUDDLES return as well. Our first session is January 18 and is almost sold out already. We can’t wait to see everyone this year and share our kids and farm with the community.

Goat barn revamp almost complete! Just have to level up the floors and bring in the stall mats. The divider doors will only be up during kidding season and the rest of the time will be removed so the barn is more open. Super happy with this configuration as it makes the space much more usable and versatile.

From our farm and family to you and yours, Happy Thanksgiving! May your table be surrounded with family and friends, good food and many memories made.

Been a lot of work, but got the old “tarp barn” converted to an actual shelter with walls and a real roof!

Confirmed zephyr and Marilyn as bred today. Both look to be expecting twins to triplets. Both of these pairings should make some impressive milkers. We will be retaining a doe from each of these breedings.
Zephyr has been in milk since early May 2022 and is still putting it in the pail. She is bred to Maverick whose littermate sister milked just shy of 1100 pounds as a 2F.
Marilyn as a FF easily earned her 18*. Yes, she’s an 18* milker! She’s bred to Brute whose dam was #8 on the Top 10 MDGA mini lamancha milkers as a first freshener and her second freshening hasn’t disappointed.

These 2 pairings happened today!

Dahlia we’ve long awaited kids from since she tragically lost both kids back in 2022 and then had a double mastectomy a week later. Hoping she settles as she’s been bred a few times since her C-Section and mastectomy, but hasn’t been able to conceive successfully. Her dam, Cami is a powerhouse of a milker who has milked over 1,000 gallons of milk in a single lactation going all the way back to January of 2021! Jack has unofficially earned his +B (meaning he has 3 daughters out of 3 different dams who have proven themselves as milkers) so this pairing should really bring the milk!

Legacy and Jack are paired again as Legacy is my best Nigerian milker and Jack has produced some milky daughters including Lily who is Jack and Legacy’s daughter from 2021. Lily milked over 800 pounds (100 gallons) as a first freshener and with Jack getting older, I realized I somehow haven’t retained any sons from him, so figured I’d better breed him back to the best and hope for a boy! Legacy has always been heavy in the boy department (yes, I know the buck determines the s*x of the kids) as she’s had quads both times she’s kidded and both times was 3 bucks and 1 doe.

Hoping to confirm both of these pairings in about a month!
