Contact Information

Wayne & I enjoy showing off our farm, so visitors are welcome. Because of off-farm work schedules, please call ahead if you want to visit. The milking Herd "works" for Poplar Hill Dairy - about 9 miles from here.   The logistics of goats in two locations can mean we are even harder to reach than normal!

Carol is available for goat care advice, and to help you find the right goat for your herd. When you call, you will probably have to leave a message - state the nature of your problem/question and if it is an emergency. I will try to get back to you as soon as the schedule permits.

Email works well - I try to check it several times a day. Goat care is a special interest to me, I enjoy sharing with others.
(Wayne can usually only answer rudimentary goat questions "Yes, that's a goat." - - And Viveka tries to help, but "toddler" is rather hard to understand)

Sales List


Goats For Sale

Because we cannot keep them all, we usually have some goats for sale. Please check our sales list. Whether you are looking for Nubian or La Mancha Dairy Goats - or some Boer Goats - you have come to the right farm.

If we don't have what you need now, you can place an order. We are within driving distance of the Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport and can ship anywhere in the world.

Organization Memberships

We believe that there is always something new to learn. And one of the best ways to learn is by belonging to an organization of people with the same interests. We have listed some of our affiliations and links to their sites (if they have one.)
