We Goat this Farm
Farm Project Description

Our farm project is rooted in a vision of sustainable, ethical agriculture with a strong focus on community and local food systems. The primary goal is to raise goats for both meat and dairy production, serving the needs of both human consumers and pet owners. Goat milk will be used for a variety of products, including fresh dairy items and ingredients in natural pet food products. The project will begin by engaging directly with the community through farmers markets and curated subscription boxes. These "community food boxes" and "pet boxes" will feature a diverse selection of farm-produced goods, helping to build brand recognition and customer loyalty. As the farm grows, we plan to open a dedicated farm store that will serve as the central hub for all farm-made products. The store will offer: -Baked goods and artisan breads -Seasonal fruits and vegetables -Farm-fresh eggs -Pickled and canned produce -Handmade spice mixes and condiments -Fresh and frozen meats -Raw dog food made with farm-raised ingredients -Natural dog treats. This project not only supports local food systems and reduces dependence on industrial agriculture, but also promotes whole-animal use and sustainable practices. It reflects our commitment to providing healthy, high-quality food products for families and pets alike, while creating a vibrant, community-centered farm experience.
