A couple of the fall line-ups are ready to go. Harvest Fig smells so divine!! Cranberry Apple is bringing fall to your skin. It has Vitamin E beads throughout the bar to boost your skin!
We have a small herd of nigerian dwarf goats that we raise. We use the surplus milk to make soap.

A family run backyard farm of Nigerian Dwarf Goats and a multitude of different chickens. We make homemade goat milk soap, containing all natural ingredients and essential oils.

The cucumbers have went a bit crazy this year! They are producing wayyy more than I can eat! So if you can use some send me a message. I'm picking a tub full every other day!🥒🥒🥒
When the garden distracts but you forgot your gloves😂
Who else has this problem?
First of the fall soap started.. Sugared Fig...
It will be cured and ready in 4-6 weeks.

This pretty little girl is 2 weeks old. She and her brothers have moved in with the herd except at night. They are growing and exploring.
Empty barn week..
Do you think they are looking for their friends to come home today?
ends today
So.. Sage the "NONBRED" doe is obviously pregnant and maybe in early labor!
Of course it's opening day of the county fair, it's 90s all week, and the flies are terrible this year!
She really doesn't look very excited, and I'm trying to get the kidding bag and pen ready for our pending arrivals! !!
Those leaves are so tasty, and if I stand on my tippy hooves...
Opposite of popular belief, goats are picky eaters! But they are excellent brush cleaners. They keep the brush in the woods under control and fertilize at the same time!
Thanks for all the new orders, Etsy Shoppers and local pick up folks!
Your support is appreciated!
Does your skin need goat milk soap ? We can certainly help you out! Send me a message if I can help.

These 2 boys! Is that not the cutest face?
He's just asking for snuggles and pets and maybe treats!!
Available the end of June.
Feed bowls make the best beds!
Cuddling up with a friend makes it even more cozier!
It's amazing when the stinky boys get some intensive grooming! Does he not have the cutest face!
Meadowmist NB Green Hornet placed 3rd in both rings.
So much fun watching his sire Agape's prize Nutty Buddy win his last 2 legs. Congratulations to Nigerians on his CH(pending)!!

Fiona hanging out with the boys.
They definitely enjoy the warmer weather! How about you?
And just like that kidding season is completed for this year!
We gave my husband the best gift for his birthday..twins!!
Happy birthday to you ! Thanks for everything that you do for us and the goaties!! We couldn't do it without you!
And thank you Flower for your very special timely delivery!! And thanks for your hands!!
If you need me I'm outside playing with babygoats!!
Highly recommended for your mental health!!
Last Friday we had 3 moms all deliver! Rosie started us out with 3girls and 1 boy. We barely had everyone cleaned up and we noticed Aster hiding out pushing! She delivered 3 beautiful girls easily! Then Velma started pushing with first boy who Cassie Edwards had to pull due to breech position. Then things became jammed up with 2 kids trying to exit at the same time. So after the dreaded 130am call to the kind Eel River Veterinary Clinic we loaded her up in the truck for her 2nd C section.
Fortunately one girl was born with a heart beat, the other one was not.
She will be moved to the retired status !
Last week was a bit crazy! So I'm a bit behind sharing. Thursday evening, SJ Fiona delivered quads!
4 boys! That brought our ratio boys-6, girls-1.
The last boy was definitely smaller weighing in at 1 # 10 oz. He spent a bit of time inside getting warm.
He is feisty and adorable!! All are gaining well. Fiona is doing beautiful. 4 more does are due.
Would definitely like more pink!!
When you are so hungry, you don't care who gets in your way of food!
Al Caprine patiently stands, while his sister Diamond goes for the good stuff!!
Purdue has a new cutie as a cheerleader! Diamond says Boiler up!! We’re rooting for purdue in The final 4!!!🏀
Easter Sunday, we had to say goodbye to one of our foundation Does.
Bayabi was older when she joined our herd, but she certainly moved right up to the top quickly.
She was truly a herd queen, a great momma,quiet but managed the herd efficiently. She intercepted any battles by stepping in between the unruly. She was a fierce protector of kids. After retirement, she adopted all the kids, and you knew she would protect them all.
The barn is missing her, and we are missing her! Rest in peace sweet girl!
Thank you, Cassie, for helping her pass peacefully even though it was breaking your own heart.
We are so blessed to have your skills and help❤️
Look for me on Saturday 9-2 at Allen County Craft Show at the Allen County fairgrounds. Admission is free, parking is free.
The flowers are thinking its spring despite the colder weather.
Happy Spring Equinox 💜

Thank you to all the people who have asked about Velma. We started round 2 of antibiotics and that has seemed to do the trick! She is starting to eat better. She's nursing and being such a good mom to the boys. She is going to have her "hooves" full with that troublemaker!! He's already pretty ornery! I'm still keeping her penned separate so someone doesn't ram her. #Happyhoovesandhens #homesteadersofindiana #homesteading #nigeriandwarfgoatsofinstagram #nigeriandwarfgoatfarm #csectionmommy #goatlove #nigeriandwarfgoatkids #cutebabygoats #babygoats

⚠️WARNING ⚠️ LIVE BIRTH VIDEO! Swipe on by if your squeamish!! This is a very strange video to post for my daughter's birthday! However this is my favorite way to celebrate HER! She is most in her element with her animals! When I think how we have struggled with sick animals, hard deliveries, losing some we've worked so hard to save, she is my rock! I've learned many things from her and will probably continue to bug her with questions. But today I want to celebrate that as she hits this big milestone, I am so proud of all that she does!! Join me in watching her do one of her favorite things and wishing @cassafrass92 a very happy 30th!! We love you forever and always! #Happyhoovesandhens #homesteadersofinstagram #homesteaders #goats #happybirthday #milestone #daughter #30thbirthday #homesteadersofindiana #nigeriandwarfgoatsofinstagram #live #livedelivery #goatbirth
