Our Farm
My parents started the farm in 2009 when we were given our first goat to bottle feed. We also began keeping bees that year as well. Almost all the neighbors around us were older and didn't have the time to give towards bottle feeding or giving extra care so they would call us with orphans. As the years went on our farm grew in many different areas. My mom was very creative and always eager to learn new things. In 2012 we started participating in our first farmers market selling different products we made using local produce. We took a class on how to make homemade skin care items and that excited me. My mom and I then started making different body products using the goats milk or beeswax off of our farm. In 2013 I started raising Nigerian Dwarf goats. In 2016 I graduated from high school and knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. We continued doing farmers markets and I started venturing out making different varieties of soaps. That same year I met my future husband. The Lord was so gracious to send so many inspiring people my way to help cultivate and develop my passion.
In 2021 my parents retired and I continued the farm and each year since it has grown. Very thankful for the Lord's goodness and guidance!

I fell in love with the farm life at a early age. I had always loved animals (my grandma was quite the rescue volunteer so I get it naturally) but when Dad & Mom started the farm, I found my passion... Livestock, especially goats. Christmas of 2012 I was given my pick of a Nigerian Dwarf doeling. January of 2013 she was born and we went down to pick her up. Many folks know her.. Topaz. We became best of buds and are still very close today! She is getting up in age and I'm very blessed to have one doe and two doelings off of her still on the farm! As I started growing my herd, I was highly interested in making soap with the milk. Mom and I made our first batch in 2013 and I haven't stopped since. Graduation from high school was in 2016 and I took a class to become a certified dairy goat technician the following year. I really wanted to become a veterinarian but God had other plans for me. That was one of the hardest things to give up. In 2021, my parents retired from farming and I took over the farm. It has grown over the last couple of years and we have many dreams for what to. continue building it to be.
