We are finally well into spring now!  And we have BABIES!  Baby cows, baby goats, baby chicks!  The flowers are starting to wake up and new ones are on their way to growing big for the bees.  We just picked up our order of 30+ perennials and need to get them in the ground for the bees to thrive on.  Thankfully, the currants are well in bloom and attracting the bees now. 

Now to go back to the babies!  We bred three mama goats and all three delivered healthy babies.  We were blessed with 4 boys and 1 precious girl, that will be a future milker!  She's a beauty! 

16 chicks hatched and all are thriving!  They are only a couple weeks old, so we still have 4.5 months until they start blessing us with their eggs.  They are adorable!

It's hard to believe that it's summer already!  Seriously--where did spring go??  Well, let me tell you!  Baby calves being born, monitoring goat mamas to be, fence fixing, flower planting for our 5 beehives, brushing out our cashmere goats, shearing alpacas, praying for rain again and again.  

The prairie is dry and it's hot right now....Rain is supposed to be coming.....we will keep praying!   

Wishing you a very Happy 2024!  Thank you so very much for being customers!  We really appreciate your business.

FYI--The payment system we use has been experiencing issues unless your computer is totally up to date.  They told us that all would be well the first of the year.  BUT if you experience problems with ordering online, PLEASE email or call us.  We can place your order through our festival system. 

Check back this spring to early summer for the list of shows and festivals we plan to be at this year!

Soooo slow to get this written. Where has the time gone??  Well, let me tell you--baby goats (born later than we thought), breech calf, spring garden planting, new bees, rain, hail, rain! 

Our mama goat didn't take to breeding the first time we exposed her--so glad we put her back in with the buck the second time!  However, that made a later in the year delivery, so we are just now starting to milk.  Mama safely delivered 2 healthy boys.  She is a first time mama, so it's always nerve racking.  She did soooo well tho!  She has been one good mama!  She let them nurse right away without being too confused about what was going on.  Always a plus!  However, she does NOT like the milking machine!  She's a wild and crazy girl and only wants her grain.  Hopefully with more time, she'll be settled and easier to milk. 

One of our mama cows had a breech baby that we couldn't save.  It is always heartwrenching to lose an animal.  That was not a good day! 

Gardening season--always a favorite!  However, we have been hit by lots of rain--approx 24" so far this year AND hail a few times.  I replanted several things, but when they were hit again, time to be done.  I just harvested our 1st cucumber of the season (plants that were replanted) and also 6 garlics.  Our tomatoes are in the greenhouse this year, with rotation.  They are sky high and loaded.  Looking forward to canning more salsa this season. 

Life on the prairie can be brutal sometimes, but it's amazing what blessings still come.  PTL!

I will add new pictures of animals and plants.  Enjoy!

We are finally launching our new website!  Please let us know if you have any problems with our site.  We will be updating our product pics when we get new ones taken.  They will have our new, fresh logo and design. 

Check back often to see what shows/festivals we have added to our list. 

Also--check in for the arrival of our new babies--due April 16th!
