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. |
