About Us
Who We Are
We started our farm back in 2020 with two pet goats for our son and a few chickens for our pasture-raised farm fresh eggs. We began selling our eggs to friends, family, and neighbors and decided to turn this into an exciting business opportunity.
All our day-to-day operations are completed as a family, and we treat all our animals with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. We are registered through the ADGA (American Dairy Goat Association), ABGA (American Boer Goat Association), and the American Goat Society. We breed Nigerian Dwarf, Alpine, Boer, and Nubian goats. We also breed Katahdin and Dorper sheep.

FAQs
What does pasture-raised mean?
Pasture-raised animals are raised on grass grown in large pastures. It helps the animals eat a variety of nutrients. When we give them more area to graze it improves the animal's well-being.
What types of chickens do you raise for your eggs?
We have a large variety of chicken breeds. We have Ameraucanas, Easter eggers, Olive Eggers, Barnevelders, Welsummers, White Polish, Orpingtons, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Reds, and Black Australorps.
Do you supplement with grain?
Yes. We supplement our animals' diets with non-GMO, hormone, and antibiotic grain. We currently use Poulin Grain, which is a premium feed made in the Northeast. All of our grain is purchased locally at Kukon Brothers, LLC.
What flour and ingredients do you use for your breads and baked goods?
We use the highest quality ingredients for all of our baked goods and breads. We find that the best flour used is the King Arthur brand, and other high-quality wholesale providers. We use their All-Purpose, Bread flour, whole wheat, organic and gluten-free. Our spices, extracts, etc. are purchased from specialty stores such as Penzey Spice and other fine retailers.
