Chicks and Goat Kids

Hey all you fine folk out there! I wanted to let you all know of some opportunities to take home a bit of the farm with you to your very own home!

Goat Kids for sale!!

...Remember that blog back in February about all the kids who were born?!
They are all weaned now, being over 3 months old and we want to sell them!

~ Does: $50
~ Wethers (boys): $40
~ Also 1-yr-old Wethers: $70 (these are quite a bit bigger, 60-80lbs)

They are a fine looking bunch and weigh in around 40 lbs. each, give or take. So, if you have a piece of land and need an animal to keep down the brush, want to raise a doe that can be a future milker, have a palate for goat, or any number of other things, come take a look, give us a call, or email Jocelyne at the farm's livestock address (can be found here.)

Chicks for sale!!

We have a bunch of chicks that were incubated by local school children in their classrooms. If you want to start raising your own chickens for eggs rather than buy them at the store, come and see our selection! We have some ranging from newborn to 3 months old.

~ Chicks: $3 - $8 (depending on their age when you buy them)

At about 5 months old your hens will start to lay and you won't be disappointed in the superior taste of home-grown eggs over store-bought! With 2 hens you should get around 1 dozen eggs a week! They love grass, fresh water, scratching the ground to find bugs and worms, need minimal looking after, don't require much feed (mostly for a protein source), and are all-around hardy birds!
