5 Chicks & A Hen

OUR STORY

It’s only appropriate that my husband and I’s love story starts in the middle of a corn field where we met 15 years ago! If you would have asked me then, I never would have guessed that almost 12 years of marriage later would bring us five beautiful babies (10 and under….do the math, that’s some consistent diapering for the last 10 years of my life lol!) And now we are smack in the middle of our newest “Little House on the Prairie” adventure!

5 CHICKS AND A HEN BORN

While I would like to tell you that I read study after study and book after book on the health benefits of goat milk products, the truth is our big white (Great Pyrenees) dog “Bear” is a big part of the inspiration for our newest project. I can say we put plenty of thought and studying into finding a buddy for him after we got him and goats seemed to be the perfect fit. Teaching our girls responsibility with the addition of some milking chores didn’t sound like a bad idea either. Fast forward a couple of good producers later and a plethora of milk almost running out of our ears, “why not try making soaps and lotions” was the question my husband was asking, leading us to where we are now!
