Nice treat after morning chores

Most mornings I have the pleasure of doing our morning chores with my wonderful wife Karen, it’s really one of my favorite times of the day. This morning Karen had gotten done milking before I finished up doing my chores, so she had already headed back to the house. I admit I was dragging my feet […]

Fresh Raw Goat Milk

Raw Goat Milk in glass jar

Now accepting new customers for our Fresh, Raw Goat milk from our herd of Nigerian Dwarf Goats. Goat milk is a wonderful option for people who are lactose intolerant as it is much easier to digest. We feed our goats fresh quality hay and provide free choice minerals, and they are very happy goats. Happy […]

Boys Having Fun

Michael and the boys have been riding their dirt bikes down in the lower acreage. They actually “cleared” a trail around the perimeter of the field to use with their bicycles as well as their dirt bikes. The boys pitched in and we bought them each a helmet. Have to keep those heads safe. Here […]

Chickens…..Masters of Hiding Eggs

We’ve had a really hot summer. Hotter than any summer I can remember. It has been great for the garden and those of us who prefer the heat. The goats don’t seem to mind it. They certainly like it better than the rain. We think we saw a slight decrease in their milk production but I […]

Two New Additions

We have a new rooster and hen. They are of the Light Brahmas breed. Let me back up a little bit. Last week we went to the Clackamas County Fair for a day. Here are Michael and Nicholas testing out farm equipment….or maybe just enjoying sitting in something cool that we don’t really need. We […]

Happy Birthday Joshua

Happy Birthday Joshua

Joshua turns 13 today. Sorry, I can’t accept this. We are just going to have to pretend that it isn’t happening. Lalalala. Nope, my baby isn’t a teenager today. So anyway, I thought I would share a photo from each year. Here is the guy that made me a mom. It is amazing how much […]

Frogs Legs

Joshua has enjoyed hunting bull frogs. They are the only thing that he is allowed to shoot whenever he wants. According to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, bullfrogs are invasive and destructive and should be destroyed. Music to a preteen, gun toting boy’s ears. Usually he gets in the canoe and shoots from that […]

An Observation

I’m not sure if I have talked enough about Halle and food. We have called her our resident foodie in other posts. If you spent time with her you would say that “resident foodie” doesn’t fully express her love of food. When the other goats will turn their noses up at something new, Halle is […]

Mowing the Lower Acreage

This summer Michael wanted to have someone cut, or “hay”, the lower acreage. This would do a much cleaner job of cutting and removing the grass clippings from the field than the brush-cutter on our tractor, which leaves the cut grass laying on the ground. He thought he would be able to find someone who […]
