 We’ve never seen such beautiful beets! Probably because this was our first beet harvest in over 4 years. It was our last beet crop that triggered us to seriously consider the “ultimate deer fenceâ€. My parents were were visiting at the time, and upon their arrival we gave them a tour of the crops […]

The weather was warm and the […]

Little Arthur Farmer Mandy Little Arthur and Brother Frank I thought that Farmer Mandy deserves a special place on this site. Mandy apprenticed with us in 2005 through 2006. During her apprenticeship, she experienced the birth of some very special goats. These goats have since been adopted by Mandy and are waiting for her and […]
