Our Story......
Orchard View Farm was started like so many hobby farms today, one kiddo wanting to show an animal for 4-H. A couple years later, we have a back yard full of goats, pigs, dogs and rabbits. It has been a labor of love that we have all enjoyed! Though we have a little bit of everything, our passion is Registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats. Our original girls (Kallie & Allie - owned by our daughter Kate) joined the farm in April 2014 as babies. As they say, you can just never have enough goats! Our little farm continues to grow with more kids hitting the ground each Spring!
As the Mama Bear of this family, I must tell you that I have grown up with severe allergies to every animal I have ever encountered.......which is really tough for an animal lover like me! At least that was until we got the goats! God sure had an awesome surprise in store --it was a blessing to discover that I am not allergic to goats! The really cool part -- I can enjoy every moment with all of these little darlings. The ironic part, since I am not allergic to them, I have now become the official hoof trimmer, groomer, dispenser of shots and "Spoiling Grandma" of this little brood!
Our mama's (does) and daddies (bucks) are fed a balanced diet of Umberger quality feed and hay along with free choice loose minerals and special treats such as veggies, fruit, herbs and the occasional graham cracker, peanuts, animal crackers or raisins if they are being really good! In an effort to ensure that our kids are as healthy and happy as possible, they are dam raised until 8 weeks of age. Mama's, Daddies and babies are "loved up" on a daily basis - so you know they are friendly and well adjusted!
We are greatly enjoying this journey in our lives and all that we have learned! We WELCOME any questions from prospective buyers!
