About US
Humble roots, new beginnings
It all started with 2 goats in an overgrown backyard, and took off from there. Although we didn't bring them home with the intention of starting a farm, the joy we found working with goats ignited our passion for self-sufficiency and sustainability. Now 6 years and 2 farms later we've expanded from our small suburban backyard to 26 mountaintop acres and over 100 head of livestock.
As we've progressed through the learning curves of first-generation farming, we've moved away from breeding goats and since 2018 have almost exclusively focused our energy on American Blackbelly sheep, hatching eggs, and honeybees. While we still have a few goats that call our farm home, when it comes to sharing the fruits of our labors with others we've found that sheep, poultry, and bees align best with our goals of becoming more self-sufficient and sustainable.
