Well, we’ve got two fainting goats left of our original herd. It’s hard to believe. At one point, we had about 15 mama goats and all of their babies. Our life circumstances have changed over the last year and we’ve made the difficult decision to get rid of our herd.
If you’ve always wanted a fainting goat or have been wanting to add to your herd, now’s your chance. Please reach out if you’re interested.

Sadly, we’ve decided to downsize our fainting goat herd. These are all purebred fainters either bought from other breeders or born on our farm. We have 1 wether and 6 does left to rehome. Jester is the wether. Please let us know if you are interested. A small rehoming cost applies.

Well life has been busy and we have had some major life changes in the last few months. Goat breeding had been on the back burner. We knew we had a few mommas pregnant and this was the surprise we got when we came out to feed tonight.

Well we experiment and it turned out amazing. My boy wanted some ham steaks. So I said let’s dry curing a whole pork butt as they are easier to get ahold of. I EQ a whole pork butt just like I do Bacon. Added dried orange zest and New Mexico chili powder. Then cold smoked for 60 hours. Them let it hang in the walk in for almost a month. Well I didn’t get it cut into steaks but I cooked like a gammon ham in a water bath for Easter. Turned out amazing.

Life has been crazy. This is the benefit of cold smoking versus hot smoking. I had 5 bellies, a whole loin and two pork butts that I cured and cold smoked. They have been hanging in the walk-in all month. Just slicing them up this week and they are amazing. Hot smoked meat would have gone bad. But not cured cold smoked meats. Old school. This is 8 1/2 lbs. of Chinese 5 spice bacon. So yummy

Spring has sprung here at that farm.

Good morning. We are pleased to host a private sausage group today. It's a gratifying experience when a former student contacts us to arrange a private session with their friends.
