Harvesting pears tonight and tomorrow! They're the same great heirloom variety (Kieffer) that we've had in past years. Best for cooking and canning purposes but good to eat after they ripen a few days. They're a little small thanks to no rain in June and too much in July but good pears. Our orchard is no-spray.

$2 per pound. (One pound is roughly 3 pears)

Pickup available at the farm Sunday afternoon- message to make arrangements.

We've always known that we want to raise our family on a farm with livestock to teach our children the value of hard work and responsibility. Seeing Merida enjoy the goats and even start to help out some has only solidified that. We are so fortunate to have this opportunity.

Note: Excuse the blurry pictures... Merida was very excited about her "beebees"

Two kiko bucklings available. Gray one is super sweet and would make a great pet for kids if castrated soon. Tan would be good as a pet with a little time and treats but isn't as naturally friendly. Also okay with them going for meat. PM for more information.

Twin doe kids available. They are fully weaned and ready for a new pasture. Serious inquiries only. PM for more information.

Goats available: three kiko cross males (still intact, can wether) and two doe kids. One paint and one dapple- doe kids would make decent starter show goats! All born in December 2022. Pictures coming soon.

Pictures of the 2021 kid crop. A few kids available now on the bottle (all bucks, 2 weeks to 6 weeks old). A couple dam raised kids will be ready the end of January/beginning of February with the rest ready at the beginning of March. If you are interested in bucks or wethers, you're in luck! We had a buck heavy year to say the least. All goat kids come pre-loved by our 4-H and FFA exhibitors, so they are all friendly and use to being handled.

Be sure to contact us ASAP if you want an intact buck; all buck kids are banded between 6 and 8 weeks otherwise.

*Not all kids pictured are available*
