New Babies

We are so excited to bring in the new year with new kids. So far we have had 13 new kids born all with bright promising futures in being spoiled. Birthing is such an exciting time of year and like worried Grand Parents we are right there with them holding their hooves to help in any way we can. Mostly mother nature does its amazing thing and all goes well. These are a couple from Kush-Hara Karma, two bucklings and a doeling. 
Lotion Bars
By Larry Denman on 2/22/2016 07:29AM
Lotion Bars are coming. Lotion bars are made of all natural items. Bees Wax, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, and  a tad bit of our goats milk. For those not familiar with the lotion bar, it is a solidified lotion. You keep it in a hardened case, and when you want to use it, you just remove and apply to where you want the moisturizer. Upon contact with the skin the bar softens ever so slightly and allow a little moisturizer to be left on the skin. Put the bar away and massage into the area. A lot easier than traditional lotions and a great affect on the skin. A lot easier to use than a bottle, easier to store, easier to carry with you, and easier to use just the right amount. We will be offering our first batches in March of Mango Papaya, Coconut and a few other scents.

We will be developing a citronella bar to aid in keeping you comfortable outdoors this spring and summer from those pesky bugs. We know you will like this moisturizing bar! Our web store is just about complete. Contact
Crock Pot Cajeta!!! Mexican version of dulce de leche.
By Darian Denman on 2/21/2016 07:02PM
Making our first batch of Cajeta! Takes a long time in general but the fact that you don't have to watch it as much using the crock pot sounded GREAT to us! This is the recipe. 

  • 2 quarts goat milk
  • 2 C. white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda dissolved in 1 Tbsp. water
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

You can use as a topper for ice cream, drizzle over brownies or fresh fruit, spread over a piece of pound cake, spread between two cookies, and even as a topping for sundaes or milk shakes. YUM!!! 
MAKING THE SOAP!!!
By Darian Denman on 2/16/2016 04:08PM
Today we made 7 batches of our Goats Milk Soap so I took some pictures along the way so that you could see the process of making the soap. First, we use frozen goats milk and mix that with the lye. While i'm mixing that, the hubby is getting our oils heated; measuring out the Essential Oil and in this case measuring out the lavender buds. Once the milk and lye start to cool, it's time to add that mixture to the oils. We use a hand mixer to mix everything well. Next we add in the essential oil and lavender buds. Continue mixing until the liquid starts to "trace", which means gets thick where when you stir or mix you can see lines starting to form. As soon as you start to see "trace", its time to put the mixture into the form. The forms are already lined with wax paper to help in removal of the soap the following day when we cut them into bars. After 3-4 weeks of curing, they are ready to be packaged and sent out for you all to enjoy!!

First Blog post of RMOAF!! The BIG RAM LAMB
By Darian Denman on 1/26/2016 06:56PM
Hubby went out to do normal chores the other day and found a huge Ram Lamb laying in the snow. Mom was no where to be found and baby boy was freezing. Hubby brought him in and we warmed him up, gave him food, got him to walk. He ended up staying the night inside with his sister (who was found later that day). The following day we tried to reunite his sister to their Mom, that didn't work. She is much smaller than he is MUCH MUCH SMALLER. He was up walking eating well,so hubby took him out back to meet his Mom. Big baby boy cried out, Mom came running and boom, nursing. YAY. Great day on the farm!!
