Trying to find something to do with mom while she's in town for the holidays?

Starting to hate all those preservatives in your food?

Maybe a sourdough class is just the ticket! 🤩

We love making sourdough bagels, and YES! We do boil our bagels! Sourdough bagels are not as hard as you think they are. Let us break it down for you into simple steps! We'll show you how to feed and maintain your starter, how to make the dough, how to knead, how to shape your bagels before boiling,...

THEY ARE HERE!

The pictures of the National Peanut Festival ADGA show costume contest are here!

I did not realize how creative the kids would get with their costumes! They found out there was a costume contest, and RAN with the idea! And this is just the kids in the Goat House Farm Inc Get Goating Club! There were so many other kids (55 total in showmanship! 🤭) that showed up dressed to impress!

Having a bad day? Try not to smile at these kids and their goats. 🤩

We are home safe from the National Peanut Festival dairy goat show, and we have slept almost enough to start catching back up! 🤣

This show was one for the books! Not because of the ribbons, but because of the success of the kid in the Goat House Farm Inc Get Goating Dairy Goat Club, the kids’ events the night before the show, and the companionship of the other wonderful breeders! Pictures coming soon of the costume contest - they do NOT disappoint!

We are so proud of our girls, who all did well!

The Not Nothin - 1st out of 2
Fischer FF MD Ever After - 1st out of 8
Fischer FF MM Holiday - 2nd out of 8 (behind Ever)
MH-GHF Maleficent - 2nd out of 13
BW Creek KON Peggy O’Paisley - 4th out of 13

Paisley was also in the winning group for get of sire out of 4 groups (sire: Hoanbu WWFA Kennedy Konspiracy), AND in the winning group for produce of dam out of 3 groups (dam: 4*BAR*E SR Peggy O’Malley). Paisley’s full sister from the same litter also took Junior Grand Champion! We love our Brushwood Creek Nubians girls!

There was a great junior Nubian turn out, and many beautiful Nubians in the ring! We are so happy with our foundation herd as we move into our first kidding season in January and February 2027.

A HUGE HUGE shoutout to Serenity Acres Farm skincare presented by Harris Homestead of FL for letting us borrow their trailer AGAIN! This is a gracious donation to the club because daily trailer rental fees are high, and it makes us possible to bring enough goats for all kids in the club. THANK YOU!

Also a HUGE thank you to all club sponsors! We couldn’t make it happen without your support. Times are tough, but together, WE ARE TOUGHER!

Another HUGE thank you to not only our partner farm Goat House Farm and club volunteer superstar Lauren Harmon, who work tirelessly and endlessly, but also to our friends who joined us at the show, SweetGum Acres and 84 West Farm! We have such a great goat community here, and we appreciate all support and friendship that we give each other!

Now- back to work!

Thank you so much to SweetGum Acres who helped us confirm pregnancies on our last two does! All our breedings are now confirmed and due dates will be posted soon! 🤗

Ever seen an ultrasound of a pregnant goat? This is our beautiful doe Nottie’s ultrasound, where you can clearly see two baby goats already moving around! 🥹

Nottie is not only a very important and special foundation doe for us, but she’s also our son’s project goat in Goat House Farm Inc’s Get Goating Dairy Goat Club. We are so excited for her kids, who are sired by Fischer FF V Red Runway!

Coming to a farm near you in February, 2027!

We are getting set up at Johnston's 100th Year Celebration, and what a beautiful day to celebrate! 🎉 ☀️

Remember we’re running our sourdough demonstrations at:

We are so excited to be ALMOST ready to release one of our holiday offerings this year!

It's our dehydrated sourdough starter kit, but with a new twist! It will now come stored inside a quart-sized jar, with a hand-made cloth bonnet on top! The kit includes dehydrated sourdough starter, and an instruction booklet on how to rehydrate the starter, how to feed and maintain the starter moving forward, and includes our white sandwich loaf recipe!

We have a ton of Christmas-themed patterns we are using to sew these bonnets, which are elastic around the ends so that it snaps nicely over your quart-sized jars.

We will also be selling the bonnets separately, for those who already have their sourdough starter up and running! Perfect for friends who name their sourdough starters, and compliment them on how bubbly they're looking today! 🙋‍♀️🫣🤣

These kits and bonnets will debut at Johnston's 100th Celebration on SATURDAY, November 7th from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in Monticello, FL!

They will then be listed for sale on our website.

It's beginning to look a lot like...we won't say it yet! 🎄

This morning was Razzle’s last day on the milk stand until she has her kids. 🥲

We’ve been slowly drying her off since confirming her pregnancy. Even though her superlative award would be Most-Foots-In-The-Bucket (which forces us to give the milk to the dog), I still have loved having her on the stand every morning and evening since February this year.

But Razzle has a much more important job right now, which is safely and healthily growing our first set of Half Acre Wood kids due in January, so we’ll just have to get our Razzle snuggles in the field until then.

Looking forward to kidding season! 🐐 🎀
