A bit of history ...
Our herd began with a darling pair of Kinder goats from Jan Hodges of New Mexico for "a bit of milk", according to the tale I told my sweet husband. Those two kinders were a joy, and led to a pair of nubians from the Arch*Acres and 4B herd, Festival & Jazz. As things do, our herd slowly grew and we jumped in with both feet to the showing world. A few kids flown in from the Lakeshore and Hoanbu herd, as well as a quick trip to Dallas to visit Latte Da and we were on our way! Although nubians are our first love, a bit of coaxing from our dear family at M's Sagebrush Acres saw the addition of toggenburgs and lamanchas. Marshall was right - the most adorable goat baby in the world may be a togg! The lamanchas stole our hearts as well with their quirky personality, quick wit and will to milk. 2015 saw the opening of our Grade A goat dairy & creamery in the Texas Panhandle. We were overjoyed after two long years of planning and building to bring our love of the herd and their incredible milk and cheeses to our friends at markets, restaurants and private events. I can never express the gratitude for the overwhelming support we received during our time that we operated our commercial dairy. However, as life happens as it does, we were led to sell our home and dairy and relocated to the midwest. As a good friend once said to me - Plot Twist! Which brings us to a lovely chapter in our lives - meeting our "Midwestern families" and all of the lovely herds up north. Our beautiful farm was nestled among the sunflower and alfalfa fields in the rolling prairie. Oh the snow! Snow was quite novel to this desert girl, and I got my fill of it in Nebraska. We endured -30 *F ambient and feet upon feet of it that first year. The herd was not as entranced with the magic of it all as I was, but we learned a lot going from 110*, dry and windy Texas to the four seasons and wet and cold of Nebraska. I loved the seasons and the cooler weather, and the herd thrived on the glorious alfalfa. The land is gorgeous and folks are some of the best I've met. There's a saying there - "Nebraska Nice" - and I am thankful for our time in Nebraska and our good friends we made there. However, I am a Texas girl through and through. So, when Lee was able to transfer back to our native home with his employment we jumped at the chance. Most of our children and their families are in the Lone Star State, and of course GRANDKIDS! Oh the grandchildren make our heart sing. We truly enjoy the adventures God has led us on, and the wonderful friends (and family!) that we have had the pleasure to cross paths with. |

A little about our logo .... After our move from Texas, it was time to reflect the changes we were experiencing. Not only our location, but our herd as well. We contacted Christina Cassidy of Chevre Feuille, who brought my vision to life. Our beloved Nubians lead the scene since they were my first love, followed by the lamancha and toggenburg. The lamancha is mischievously reaching for the sunflower, a symbol of our new home in the Midwest. The girl is yours truly, wearing maroon as a signal to the best university in the world - Texas A&M! Gig 'em Aggies! Next, the blue flowers signal the bluebonnets of our home state of Texas and keep us grounded. Lastly, Tule Creek is blown forward ... reminiscent of our journey and "looking forward" to this beautiful life God has blessed us with.
