We hope you enjoy your visit with us, and hope to see you again soon! We're located in beautiful south central Indiana, only 1/2 hour from Indianapolis. If you'd like to pay us an "actual" visit, contact us here.
We raise goats, hogs, and chickens, and hay. All are for sale direct from our farm, and we are proud vendors at the Morgan County Farmer's Market in Martinsville. Feel free to view the pictures of our animals and events, and read up on each. We strive to produce the highest quality meat and eggs as naturally and stress-free (for the animals AND ourselves!) as possible. All of our animals get daily personal attention, which may range from head and ear scratching to hand feeding. Our animals are well socialized and people-friendly; we wouldn't have them any other way.  These are our first two goats, Ginger and Xena. They are twins, 50% Kiko, 25% Nubian, and 25% Alpine. They were born March '07, and came to us from Roll Farms in Marion, Indiana.
  Dexter also came from Roll Farms in Marion, IN at 8 months of age, and we had some excellent kids from him in April '08. We were quite excited to aquire him in November '07, and he has since moved on. We are retaining all of his kids and look forward to continuing to keep his Kiko/Boer heritage alive in our herd for quite some time.
 These are our Blue Orpington breeders. They were six months old in this pic (Nov '07), and have since matured very nicely. They are actively laying, although they have slowed a bit since the weather has gotten hot. I can't blame them; I have, too. :-)  These are some of our hogs. We are keeping a couple of these gilts for breeding purposes, but the rest are either for sale, or already sold. We DO sell pork products direct to the public. These are commercially butchered and state inspected and passed. No antibiotics, no growth hormones!
 This is some of our layers, accompanied by our Light Braham rooster. Our flock consists of Light Brahams, Buff Orpingtons, Splash Orpingtons, Blue Orpingtons, Black Australorps, Barred Rocks, Americaunas (Easter egg chickens), and a single Salmon Faveroll. All of them lay brown eggs except for the Americaunas that lay green, blue, or pink shelled eggs. Eggs are available for sale direct from our farm. Update:: A few of our Buff Orpington hens and a rooster left Nov. 19th, '07 for our sister/parent/?? farm in South Carolina where they will live out their lives as pets at my parent's place. I'm quite certain they will get more treats than I ever did!!!
 Please bare (nope, too cold for that! Thanks for the spellcheck, Granny!) BEAR with us as we work on this site. We speak ENGLISH on our farm, and nothing else. HTML is NOT our language of choice!
