While I'm busy in the soap kitchen making spring lotions, the goat kids are enjoying a beautiful day exploring their world!

And that's a wrap on 2024 kidding season! The last four does kidded over the past 24 hours, two of them at the same time, contributing 9 more kids to the mix. πŸ€ͺ

We finished with 20 kids out of 9 does - nothing like doubling your goat herd in a week and a half!

Stay tuned for cute baby goat videos!!

It was a VERY long night for Lilly. She is finally the proud and relieved mama of three.

While we're waiting on baby goats to arrive, I'm working on little goats for all of you! (Swipe to see!)

Our first goat due date is this Thursday, but we're anxiously monitoring the herd because snowstorm... They always seem to choose the stormy days to have kids. πŸπŸ™„β„οΈβ„οΈβ„οΈ

Goat ornaments coming soon to a craft show near you!!

Happy Pi Day!!

Not exactly a pie, but still a circle, which is the important part. 🀣πŸ₯§

There are signs of everywhere! Just look at those pregnant goat mamas - new babies are only a couple of weeks away!

It's a terrible, sad thing when you're trapped on the other side of the gate... 🐐πŸ€ͺ

Is anyone else experiencing a crazy absence of rain and snow? I'm starting to worry about the coming grazing season. Swipe to see what the farm looked like last year!

We've been quiet on the socials for the past couple of months. This is what we've been up to!

*filling the soap racks
*new product development
*testing new scent blends in soap
*making little goats
*and we can't forget to feed the cat πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

How have you kept busy this winter?

We're getting closer to kidding season every day! The does have finally started to *look* pregnant. Goat farmers have a saying: Lunch is left (where their rumen is), right is babies. While vaccinating everyone today, I was able to "bump" babies in 7 out of 9 does! I'm sure the other two are expecting as well. We're going to be busy the first couple of weeks in April! 🐐

Does anyone else have a January Tree? We redecorate our Christmas tree with everything sparkly to help increase the light through the dark month of January. It all gets put away eventually!

The Mr. and I were having a conversation about needing new Carharts.

Me: Yeah, I'm closing on 30 years for this one. It's getting worn out.

Mr.: Well, mine has been on fire a couple of times.

Me: ...

Happy New Year! We are celebrating with our garden produce and farm rewards with a fancy charcuterie board. We hope you have a safe and prosperous new year!

Today is the last day of this milking season. It always feels strange to put everything away until we welcome new babies. It's important to let the does rest for a couple of months before the next kidding season.

Much thanks to Lilly for all the milk I use to make soap and lotion!

After days of rain, we finally have a change. Hector and Becky, the barn cat boys, are escorting me to breakfast. They meet me at the back door every morning! πŸˆβ€β¬›
