Candy, our herd queen, gives birth to two sweet goat babies. She has a doeling and a buckling.

Our Alpine doe, Joy, gave birth to her babies. Joy was born here on our farm in 2022. She is a first time mama and is thriving with her two new bucklings!

Today I'm sharing a peek into how we get ready for kidding season. We have four does kidding this year, all bred to our new buck, Westley.

Our Alpine doe named Candy gives birth! This was Candy's second kidding, but her first on our farm. In the video, she gives birth to two kids, one buckling named Willie and one doeling named Fancy. This birth was from July 2022. If you'd like to keep up with the farm, you can follow us on here and on Instagram @rockinkfarmandranch.

Penny's kids are about a month old, and we're all having SO much fun! I also give an update on the Kunekune boars & what we've been doing to accommodate their excitement over the gilts.

In today's video I share a bit about our garden design. After Josh received his permaculture design certification, we did a big redesign of our garden. We began implementing elements of the design in spring of 2021, and now we are building more as the growing season begins. If you have questions about certain elements or placements, please ask away in the comments! If there is interest, I can d...

We had the gift of witnessing our Alpine doe give birth to two beautiful kids. This was her first time giving birth and our first time witnessing birth. What a joy to be in the presence of such magic! We have a small farm, where we are with our animals throughout the day. Our animals are used to us being around. Because of this, we wanted to be present for the birth, as long as Penny seemed com...

This week, we are moving the pigs over to the pond to help us prepare for our irrigation water! We're also planting out our field and preparing for Penny's kids!

The pigs turned a year old this month and to celebrate, we weighed them! We had some successes and some failures on the scale. I also share a little about the boars' little scuffle.

A brief introduction to our newest additions to the farm, alpine dairy goats.

Today I'm sharing more details about overwintering our Kunekune pigs. I give an update on how the dry lot/deep bedding system is working for us, as well as share about how we've been feeding our 4 pigs now that they are off pasture until spring. Enjoy!

Setting up a new enclosure for our food scraps and compost! We like our chickens to have access to our food scraps and be able to work the compost, but we needed to create a new setup for this... one that keeps the pups out! Although this isn't a Kunekune video, Paul & Waffles helped me film pieces! Enjoy! Check out more farm adventures on our Instagram: @rockinkfarmandranch rocki...

Winter is here, and the grass in the pasture won't be growing for a couple months! We've moved our Kunekune pigs off of the pasture and into a new winter paddock which means a new feeding routine.

A great plant to add to your garden and herbal medicine cabinet! This was our first season growing aster. Fragrant, beautiful purple blooms that appear in late August, early September. She did great in sandy soil. So many beneficial uses for this plant, but I plan to tincture the fresh flowers and dry some for use throughout the year as a tea and steam.
