Welcome

It has been very busy here the last month. Kidding and lambing season has begun here at the farm. It seemed like for a while every time we would go to the barn there was another set of twins on the ground. So far all has gone well. We still have a few does that have yet to kid.
For the most part they are all boer goats (the meat breed). We have a handful of dairy goats and a few sheep. We are planning on keeping the does that are born from this year to increase the herd size to kid next season.
This is my favorite time of the year on the farm. It is a sign that spring is coming. As soon as the first kid or lamb hits the ground you can almost smell the spring flowers.
Of course Mother Nature has different plans sometimes. Kids may have been born on a nice sunny 50 degree day and then the next it will be 30 degrees and snowing. I always feel bad for the poor little ones that have to go through such changes. We do all we can to protect them from the harsh weather. Nothing we can do is ever as good as the natural instincts of a good mom. It can be cold and blustery and we will go to the barn expecting all the little one to be cold and shivering. To our surprise they are all nestled and snuggling up tight in the comfort of their mothers.
I will try and do a good job with posting on a regular basis. This is something I have been wanting to do for sometime now. We are getting into the busy season with markets and such but I will try my best.
We are placing our first order for chicks this week so we will have fresh chicken back in stock in another 2 months.
We have plenty of CSA shares available. If interested email us or go to the website for more information.
Our market schedule for this year will be
Whole Foods in Pittsburgh, last Wednesday of every month
Downtown Johnstown, every Friday 9-2
Westmont Presbyterian, every Saturday 9-1
Markets will start the end of May and run through October.
We are looking forward to seeing all of our regular customers from last season and getting to know many more of you.
