Little Nickelbush Farm

Little Nickelbush Farm raises goats in Quilcene, WA, Jefferson County and the Olympic Peninsula near Port Townsend. Under the care of Katrina Mae, the farm has been building its herd for several years and follows recommended health protocols in partnership with a local veterinarian.

Goats graze on rotational pastures and spend nights in a ventilated shelter bedded with straw. The animals receive daily handling from an early age, which supports clean coats and calm temperaments. Feed consists of locally grown hay supplemented with mineral blocks to ensure balanced nutrition. The farm also follows seasonal hoof trimming schedules and maintains separate kidding pens for mother and kid bonding. This family operation began as a homestead project and has grown steadily while keeping animal welfare central to its approach. Visitors often note the goats’ gentle nature and the individual attention each animal receives.
