Evergreen View Farm's goat herd is loving spring pasture after a long Northern New York winter! Since our soap supply is running low, it's time to get more batches curing. In between regular spring farm work, we are having fun blending new scents and ingredients. Grass fed, mineral rich milk from new spring pasture creates ultra-nourishing soaps and lotions. These farmstead soaps, lotions and whipped body butters are for sale locally as well as at our farm year-round. Limited edition Christmas scents will be available at the Red Barn Mercantile during the Christmas tree season in December 2018.

Sweet Land Levi (Sugar Moon Kizzy x God's Love Farm James) sired quads this spring by Capsand Creamery Andromeda in Vermont. All female! Levi's daughter Capsand Creamery Milky Way (dam: Capsand Creamery Andromeda) kidded twin doelings this spring as a 2nd freshener. Andromeda is dam to our buck Capsand Creamery Walker. Christine says that Andromeda continues to impress with the longest lactation and top capacity in her herd. I'm seeing this trait passed on in offspring from Walker and Kizzy and James' offspring as well. Most of our does milked through the winter and are maintaining steady production on spring pasture. Solid capacity through extended lactations will continue to be one of our goals in future breedings.

Intro

We raise Nigerian Dwarf goats because of their quality: creamy, high butterfat milk, small size, and sweet personalities. They provide our family with a fresh source of raw milk, as well as yoghurt, cheeses, soap, and a variety of dairy products. We love our animals, care for them very well, and are blessed that we are able to raise our own food. Finding the new kids good homes is important to us. Our 13th kidding year will be in 2024, with dairy conformation and gentle temperaments our breeding priorities. You can find more information about each doe on her page, as well as access to her pedigree. All our girls are purebred Nigerian Dwarf goats, and have great milkers in their ancestry.
