In 2007 we bought 5 acres in Kuna, Idaho. We soon outgrew the five acres and purchased 15 acres in Spring 2011. We are now able to grow our own Alfalfa hay which we feed to all the livestock. Our primary goal is to create sustainable products for our future as well as our children's.
Our interest in dairy goats and dairy sheep grew from wanting to make our own dairy products. I (the milker) chose Oberhasli dairy goats for their sweet personalities and their sweet tasting milk. My husband is the cheesemaker in the family and has made some wonderful mozzarella and various aged cheeses. In 2013 we decided to disperse our dairy sheep herd to focus more on the goat side of things. Our friend, Laura, from Blue Sage has great East Frisians if you need any. www.bluesagefarm.com
Keeping our herd of Oberhasli's and other critters healthy has been a top priority.
In 2013 we have decided to focus more on the Oberhasli goat side of things. We have dispersed our dairy herd and will add bummer lambs in the spring so we can still sell meat lambs. Our Oberhasli herd will know be 7 Does a milking in spring of 2014. Our herd is growing with the addition of Golden Guernsey's and we now have a total of 17 does which will be devided into two groups. Group 1 (spring kidding) and Group 2 (fall kidding) so we can milk year round...yes I said milk all through the year!!
We will have our Grade A milking parlor and cheese processing plant completed by the end of September (G-d willing).
