Located on the central western side of West Virginia, in Jackson County, we are dedicated to raising quality RARE breeds of livestock, with minimal inputs.  America is slowly losing the genetic heritage livestock breeds that our pioneer ancestors  developed in order to survive.  As members of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, we believe that this genetic diversity should be maintained and preserved.

 

We currently raise Myotonic Goats, (also known as Tennessee Fainting Goats, Nervous Goats, etc.),  Delaware and Buckeye Chickens, and Maremma Sheepdogs.   The goats are in the Threatened (or rare) category which is one step above critical, and the chicken breeds are considered Critical, since these breeds are among the top 5 most endangered breeds in the country.    We also raise Guineas and Wheaten Old English Bantam chickens and occasionally have Toy Rat Terriers for sale.   We sell grass-fed beef and chevon  locally.
