The Nigerian Dwarf breed captured our hearts early in 2009. We were lucky enough to discover Fred and Linda Phillips and visited their herd at Kannah Creek Farm and fell in love. Tina and her side kick Izzy followed my husband around the yard and we were smitten. Our original plan to keep two goats has morphed into a herd of 9...now 17...21...and counting!
Our goals are simple. To raise healthy, friendly goats who kid easily, and provide lots of delicious milk. To do that, we participate in the ADGA Dairy Herd Improvement programs and the ADGA Linear Appraisal program to constantly improve our herd. We also invest in new does and bucks to improve milk production and structure. We have just started showing again and hope to continue that as time and a full time job allow.

Please reach out to us with your goals for breeding so we can help select the right goat to fit your needs.
Herd Health
We take the health of our goats very seriously. We have never had a case of CAE, CL, Johnes or Brucella in our herd. We have tested in the past and have never had an animal test positive. Since our last clean whole herd test in 2020, we’ve tested some of our milkers periodically with no issues.
DHI and ADGA dairy stars!!
In 2019, we began DHI (Dairy Herd Improvement) milk testing. For the first year, we did owner sample testing. We’ve done standard testing for the past 4 years. We currently have 4 does on the Elite list!! Whoop.
Ancestor Photo Albums...explore the wonderful, colorful ancestors of our Nigerian Dwarf Herd. The history of the breed is fascinating to me. I hope to compile an extensive library of photographs and pedigrees of our herd. Thanks to Kannah Creek Farm, Piddlin Acres, Sage Acres, Lost Valley, Magic Apple Nigerians, Old Mountain Farm, Noall’s Ark, Dragonfly Farm and Redstone for sharing their wonderful photographs.
