We are a small family run homestead in Oneida County Wisconsin specializing in dual purpose goats and rare breed poultry. Our goats are raised on forage, hay, and mineral buffet system. We feed hay and tree hay in winter months and rotational browse in summer.
We raise Silverudd’s Blue, Silver Birchen Marans, BBS olive eggers, and Seramas for poultry. Our poultry is raised on Kalmbach feeds infused with essential oils, BSF larvae, fresh produce and grass, oyster shell flakes, and suet (winter months).
We strive for self sufficiency and low input farming through hydroponic produce production in winter, preservation of food, and large garden in summer months. Striving towards a goal of permaculture farming practices.
We do not perform dehorning of our goats. Bucklings are castrated at 8-10 weeks with Burdizzo method. Goats are unvaccinated and raised on mineral buffet, hay, and browse. FAMACHA system used to monitor health. Herbal products used for health maintenance however, triple commercial wormer system is utilized for worming if deemed necessary.
Poultry is raised on Kalmbach feeds that are infused with essential oils. Unvaccinated. Fresh produce when available. BSF larvae and suet for treats. Oyster shell flakes as supplement. ACV and probiotics in water intermittently.

Parasite Protocol: We use rotational browse, herbal products as much as possible but will utilize commercial wormers if a particular animal is not responding and shows signs of decompensation and meets FAMACHA criteria. No routine deworming. Poultry is raised as holistic as possible with occasional use of coccidiostats. Diatomaceous earth and lime utilized to reduce external parasite loads.
We are always striving to be as holistic as possible.
Vaccination Protocols: No Vaccinations
