"Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle,

both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains,

and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry."

-- 2 Chronicles 26:10  

 
We moved here to our current mini-farm in September 2009.
We are located less than 10 minutes from downtown Huntington, WV,
and we are less than 30 minutes from Ohio and Kentucky.
 
 "There is a living God; He has spoken in the Bible.
He means what He says and will do all He has promised."

I am originally from West Virginia, and my husband is originally from

Clearwater, Florida. When we met, he had no idea that he

would eventually end up on a small farm out in the country

in West Virginia, but here we are. I think he enjoys it more

than I do, but we both have the same goals and enjoy how

and where we live a great deal.

We have three young son and hope to allow them to grow up with

traditional values and useful knowledge that so many kids

are not able to acquire these days in this society.

In the midst of greater tragedy than most people could ever fathom,

we have also had some blessings along to way that have allowed

us do what we currently are here, and you can learn more about

this and our farm's name on it's page HERE.

We started out with a pony and some Pygmy goats at our first house back

in 2007. My husband became interested in Dairy goats, and we purchased

1 Nubian doe, 1 doling and a buckling in the spring of 2008.

I had grown up having horses and riding, and eventually, my husband also

became very interested in Arabians, and when the chance came up to

purchase not only a fantastic Arab mare, but also a SE Arab filly and then an

SE Arab Stallion, we jumped at the chance to raise a breed of horse I'd

only dreamed of having as a child reading "The Black Stallion" series by Walter Farley.

So our herd began, and we have since added more goats of dairy breeding and decided

to raise Miniature Nubians, Kinder goats and Nigerian Dwarf goats, and we were able to

purchase a very nice Jersey calf to raise occasional heifers later on.

We love being able to meet people along this journey, and we are thankful

for the advice and help we've gotten from people who are also living a similar

lifestyle or raising animals like we are.

We would love to talk to you if you're interested in learning from us or

have been doing this longer than we and have anything we might learn

from you!
 

We hope to learn to make goat and cow cheese, butter and goat soaps and lotions

soon, and I'm glad to have gotten contacted by lots of nice folks locally and further away

that we will be able to learn from!
