We love our goats! We love goat’s milk! Each Spring our momma’s kid beautiful babies. We would love to keep them all, but after a couple months our babies wean and need to find new loving homes.

Our first kids arrived in February 2025 and will be available to move to your homestead once they are weaned from their momma later this Spring. We currently have full Dwarf Nigerians and F1 Mini Nubians.

If you are in need of a sire for your goat herd our Dwarf Nigerian buck Mars is available and willing to lend a hand, or so to speak. Studding fee is $75 per visit.

Please contact us to make arrangements to get on our waitlist, inquire about kidding sales, or studding details.

We hope to return to the Pinehurst Village Green in the Sandhills Farmers Market a few times next Summer. Please check our Facebook feed for those dates & what our family will be offering.

According the U.S EPA, food waste is the single largest category of material placed in municipal landfills, where it emits methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

We can help you keep the methane out of the landfills and create a healthier planet by picking up your kitchen scraps and food waste, replacing it with an empty clean bucket each week.

We will use the waste from your home to supplement our animals processed feed and to add nutrients to the soil through composting. Please check out our YouTube page for additional details on how we use this valuable resource at Ladybug Farm.

A summer camp for adults! In this hands-on workshop participants will enjoy daily herb walks and conversation. We will learn to harvest, grow, preserve and prepare herbs to create natural home remedies for promoting health and warding off aliments.

This program is on pause for 2025 and we hope to revisit in a new chapter in upcoming years.

Bring your dreams, gain some wisdom, set your intentions & leave with an action plan for your upcoming Spring vegetable garden!

This day will be a mix of lecture & workshop, both inside our workshop and inside our 1,620 foot greenhouse high tunnel. Come prepared to get your hands dirty sifting soil, planting seeds, and transplanting to gain the experience to feel confident in your 2024 garden.

UPDATE: We have taken a pause on this program for 2025. We highly encourage you to utilize the amazing resources & workshops provided by your County Cooperative Extension services.
