The last few weeks have past in a blur. Round 2 kidding starts tomorrow with just a handful of the girls left. The first babies have only JUST been let loose into the world- with the weather we've had lately our creek has been flowing fast- way too fast for little baby goats to cross. So...

Yes Xmas is coming, so we're in full production here for the tourist season which takes off shortly(actually it's kinda started now).Madly batching soaps to fill the shelves. We've already sold out of one batch of Gaia Gift boxes, so we're waiting on delivery of more of the...
