Goats
Mala, Paola, Freesia, and Metta Rose came to the farm four years ago to live with us. The following year, they were joined by two pregnant does and a proud papa buck; and they, too, became mamas themselves soon after. In 2016, we welcomed 15 baby goats born here on the farm, and we have been learning more about goat husbandry, baby goat raising, and all things goat milk ever since.
In 2017, we welcomed 12 beautiful, healthy kids all born unassisted to instinctive, loving mamas. We had one first-time mama, who, after watching all the mamas and babes around her, easily kidded two stout bucklings and nursed them right away.

GOATS FOR ADOPTION
Each kidding season, we have a select number of goatlings available for adoption. As our herd grows and we continue to refine our focus, occasionally does and bucks are available also.
All of our goats are registered/registerable with the Kinder Goat Breeders Association, of which our farm is a member.
Please contact us with any questions or inquiries you may have about our goats. The more information you can share with us about what you're looking for (pets, milkers, show purpose, dual-breed, field grazing), and about your experience and prospective home/farm for the goats, the more we'll be able to support your match with the goats that are right for your needs, and also the goats'. We care about our animals very much, and do our best to ensure that they are going to good homes; we hope that both the goats and their people are very happy with their match.
To meet that end, we send every goat to their new home with a folder comprised of their documentation, a list of their feed/vitamins, and contact information for us and for local recommended veterinarians. We encourage you to be in touch at any time in the future if any questions should arise.

AVAILABLE GOATS (FALL/WINTER 2018)
~~ We are currently accepting adoption reservations for kids expected to be born summer 2018 (August due dates), which will be available to take home twelve weeks later. ~~
Our dams live onsite, and are all registered with papers from the Kinder Goat Breeders' Association; the kids will also be registerable. The sire is also registered and comes from award-winning milking lines. Detailed pedigrees are available online. Doelings and bucklings will be 200-250$ each, and wethers will be available for 125$ each.
Baby goat reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and may be reserved with a non-refundable deposit of 100$ per goat. Goat kids are available to take home at 12 weeks of age, giving them plenty of time to build their immune systems by nursing full term and weaning naturally.
Rare breed, full size Kinder goats grow to be 100-120 pounds. With calm, loving temperaments, they make wonderful and devoted pets. They are bred for their health, sweet connection with people, grazing/lawn care, and ease in birthing and milking. (for more information, please visit www.kindergoatbreeders.com)
All healthy, sweet, handled daily, make excellent and devoted pets; these goats are part of a closed herd (CAE/Johne's negative), and are allowed to graze freely on organic acreage, as well as supplemented with GMO-free forage and alfalfa, as well as goat-specific vitamins and minerals.
Goats are available to be adopted out in pairs or more only, as they are herd animals and need company to stay healthy. In addition to grazing space, goats need good hay, vitamins, fresh water, secure fencing, and a sheltered, safe place to live.
Please let us know if you have any questions, and we wish you all the best with your goat adoptions.

Chickens and Ducks
We began our flock five years ago with a dozen downy chicks from the local feed store, housed in a makeshift cast iron bathtub-turned-brooder; since then, we've expanded by adopting different breeds as well as hatched some by incubator, and cheered on our mama hens as they hatched their own chicks.
The farm is now home to about 40 hens and 2 roosters, including Australorps, Ameraucanas, Orpingtons, Silkies, Easter Eggers, Cochins, and Barred Rocks. Many of our younger chickens are barnyard blends. The farm is also home to ducks, who, along with the chickens, love to explore these dry summer fields, chat amongst themselves, enjoy the sunshine and wild native plants and bugs, and continually find innovative new hiding spots to lay their eggs.

Chicken and Duck Eggs Available
In early 2018, we opened our farm honor stand, and it's kept fully stocked year round with fresh farm eggs from our happy-free-ranging hens . After a brief one-time introduction, we also welcome visitors to stop by the farm to gather their own eggs from the nesting boxes in the coop. |
