Kidding areas are kept clean and quiet to support healthy does and sturdy kids.

The herd includes lines known for calm temperaments and strong muscle tone, traits prized by local smallholders and homesteaders. Rhonda’s background in sustainable farming and homesteading informs every aspect of husbandry and herd health. Visitors often note the approachable nature of the goats and the thoughtful design of the farmstead.
