Seasonal Florals & Produce
Our seasonal offerings of no-spray produce include: transparent apples, gravenstein apples, sweet corn, carving pumpkins, decorative pumpkins, sugarpie pumpkins, butternut squash, and hubbard squash. We also have assorted cut flowers including lilacs and dahlias, with a focus on farm grown designer-made hand-tied bouquets and arrangements.
Fresh Eggs
Our hens are fed a certified organic feed and we do not medicate them. They spend their time on our farm roaming happily with plenty of pasture to dig in and eat. This means that our eggs are more nutritious than eggs laid by hens that live in confinement. Eggs that you buy from us contain less cholesterol and saturated fat, more beta carotene, more folic acid, more vitamins A, D, & E, and more omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Eggs are $7/dozen; call/text or email us to arrange pickup from the farm. We do have some delivery options as well.
Sustainability
We select for health, hardiness, temperament, production and physical conformation in all of our breeding stock. We avoid routine deworming and medicating our animals. We avoid using sprays on our crops and we incorporate our farm-produced animal manures to fertilize our soils, keeping a dynamic cycle of nutrients through the animal and plant components of our farm. We are passionate about producing healthy food in an environmentally responsible way.
Why Nigerian Dwarfs?
Nigerian Dwarfs trace their ancestry back to West African origins, but their development for dairy qualities occurred later in Texas and is attributed to two breeders: Kathleen Clapp and Sharla Parker. The breed has seen more rapid development over the last 20 or so years and Nigerians have become known for their dairy qualities, friendly personality, and colourful coats (NDGA 2017). We chose Nigerian Dwarfs because of these breed traits. Our small children enjoy the sweet rich milk that is higher in butterfat content than other breeds. We appreciate the small size and gentle personalities of the goats around our little kids and the children of friends and family that we often have visiting. Their attractive array of coat colours make for many surprises at kidding time and the goats make wonderful pets as does and wethers.
Meet Our Nigerian Dwarfs
We are focused on breeding our registered Nigerian Dwarf goats for strong dairy character, conformation and production. We are carefully building our foundation herd with individuals bred by top Canadian breeders and descended from US imports. Our goats come from disease-tested herds, are free of CL abcesses and are tested CAE and Johne’s negative since 2016.
Wonderland GJ Landslider
Slider is a handsome chamoisee buck with a great dairy lineage. He is out of Stormwatcher My Charlotte (Reserve Champion ND Senior Doe at North Thompson Fall Fair 2016) to US import Camanna OMF Gold Jackpot. Charlotte’s sire is US import Odds Are D Mighty Midas. Slider’s littermate sister, My Blondie, freshened with a lovely high and wide udder. With strong US breeding on both sides of his pedigree and a great top line and rump length, we have high hopes for Wonderland Landslider and look forward to seeing what he throws!
Height: 22″
Elfin Acres NB Flatline
Elfin Acres NB Flatline GP84 2016 joined our farm in March 2018. He brings lovely dairyness with wonderful length, depth and spring of rib. Flatline’s breeder, Marybeth, says that his line has conformation, production, and lovely udders all in a small package. His maternal grandma (Mandisa 2*M 2017 VEEE 90 ALPHA S1 CASEIN B/E), dam Zahra (3*M 2017 VVEV 87), and sister Zalika (4*M) are all still in the Elfin Acres herd and Zalika is mentioned as an exceptional milker with a smaller frame and beautiful conformation. Elfin Acres TT Mandisa certainly is beautifully structured. Flatline had a tentative start in life and so is aptly named – you can read his story here.
Height: 23″
Outlaw’s Blue Taffy
With a lineage of friendly goats, this buckskin girl comes by her sweet and easy-to-handle personality honestly – never even needing to be trained to the milking stand! She has good size, angulation, great foreudder attachments and udder floor, and good sized teats and orifices with quick milk let-down. Linebred on her US sire Camanna FS Sudden Impulse who is known for milk production, she is moonspotted, polled and blue-eyed! In her first kidding with us as a 2nd freshener, Taffy raised her set of quads without assistance AND also fed the other 5-7 kids in the herd while we milked her once daily for 3 months. This was a little wearing on her as she continued to feed her four daughters into her next pregnancy; so we feel we haven’t fully seen Taffy’s full potetential. Still, we were very happy with her third freshening capacity: 1.86 lbs on 12 hr hold, 6 weeks fresh .
Lil Bit Country Cyndi Lou
An easy keeper, Lil Bit Country Cyndi Lou VG86 2016 (Cedar Green Little Raven x Linwood SI Whiskey) is the offspring of one of the favourite milkers over at Yellowpoint. Not only is she a Raven daughter, she is a Thistle Creek Ebony Angel granddaughter and Cedar Green Twilight niece! Cyndi classified VG86 2016. Cyndi has a lovey udder floor, good rear attachments, good medial and she is our favourite for texture. She was our powerhouse milker in 2019 with her third freshening capacity at 5 weeks, 14 hour fill: 2.4 lbs (4 1/2 cups) which she held for weeks!
Curl Creek Lone Blossom
Curl Creek Lone Blossom (“Fidget”) came to us on New Year’s Day 2019 from our friends at Footnote Farm. She has a strong lineage including her granddam, Thistle Creek Blue Ivy, and her sire, Hetlandcreek TT Lone Ranger. Fidget gave us the perfect kids for her first freshening – a set of twins! She had a nice first freshening udder with good rear attachments and large teats and orifices. We look forward to seeing her develop. She milked out 1.43 lbs on a 12 hr hold at 5 weeks fresh for her 2nd freshening (twins).
Lil Bit Country Southern Dawn
We are thrilled to have a Thistle Creek Ruby Tuesday girl in our herd. Dawn’s US imported sire is no slouch either; Camanna’s CIB Hennessy has a great dairy lineage. We freshened Dawn as a 17 month old. Her most notable udder feature that we are happy to see in our herd is her very long teats. Her udder is well attached in the rear. First freshening capacity 1.1 lbs on a 16 hour hold (twins), 2nd freshening capacity 1.43 lbs (5 weeks fresh, 12 hour hold, twins).
van H’s Cosmic Junebug
We’ve been long waiting for our quad doelings out of Taffy by Elfin Acres F Hawthorne (EX90) , son of “Elite Status’ GCH SG The Lilac Twinkletoes, to join the milking lineup. These classy girls have a great deal of uniformity between them and are backed by one of our favourite udders in the herd. Junebug is quite the mini me of her mama, Taffy, and we were pleased with her first freshened mammary and capacity . Junebug gave 1.6 lbs on a 12 hour hold as a first freshener at 5 weeks fresh (raising twins).
van H’s Charlotte’s Web
We’ve been long waiting for our quad doelings out of Taffy by Elfin Acres F Hawthorne (EX90) , son of “Elite Status’ GCH SG The Lilac Twinkletoes, to join the breeding lineup. These classy girls have a great deal of uniformity between them and are backed by one of our favourite udders in the herd. We were happy with Charlotte’s mammary and capacity as a first freshener. She gave 1.29 lbs on a 12 hour fill as a first freshener at 5 weeks fresh (raising twins).
van H’s Little Ladybug
We’ve been long waiting for our quad doelings out of Taffy by Elfin Acres F Hawthorne (EX90) , son of “Elite Status’ GCH SG The Lilac Twinkletoes, to join the breeding lineup. The littlest of the quads, Ladybug still milked out a respectable 1.51 lbs for her first freshening 12 hour fill at 5 weeks fresh (raising twins).
van H’s Honeybee Parade
We’ve been long waiting for our quad doelings out of Taffy by Elfin Acres F Hawthorne (EX90) , son of “Elite Status’ GCH SG The Lilac Twinkletoes, to join the breeding lineup. Honey has a lovely length of body and wonderful udder texture. Her first freshening capacity on a 12 hour hold at 5 weeks fresh was 1.84 lbs.
Renegade Beetle Bailey
First freshening Spring 2020, Bailey takes after her mama, Cyndi, in physique and we hope she does in mammary and capacity as well. One of the first doelings to be born of Pholia Farm UB Destiny (VG87 2019) who exudes dairy strength, we are excited to see her freshen. Bailey is notoriously difficult to get a nice photo of but she has a long rump length and sharp withers.
Renegade Cricketsong
Cricket first freshened in March 2020 with triplets. She follows in her mother’s footsteps, pumping out the milk with ease, with 1.81 lbs from her 12 hour hold at 5 weeks fresh for her first lactation! She shows a high esceutchon and rear attachment and a larger teat size than her mom, our Lil Bit Country Cyndi Lou. Cricketsong is a graceful doe. Her sire is Pholia Farm UB Destiny (VG87 2019) who exudes dairy strength.
van H’s Firefly
Firefly is our first retained doeling off our Wonderland GJ Landslider and is a Thistle Creek Ruby Tuesday grandaughter. She has a lovely topline, width, and body capacity. Her first freshened udder improved on her dam significantly, with higher and wider rear attachments, better medial, more globular shape to her udder, and more forward fore attachements! Her first freshning capacity at 5 weeks fresh was 1.4 lbs on a 12.5 hour hold.
van H’s Gracie Lou
Gracie is our first retained doe sired by our US import buck, Elfine Acres NB Flatline and from our most productive milker, Lil Bit Country Cyndi Lou. We are very excited to see her freshen in Spring 2021.
van H’s Miss Congeniality
Missie has been fun to watch as she has lengthened into yearling status. She is out of our doe Fudget by Cedar Green Oak. We look forward to freshening Missie in Spring 2021!

Satin Rabbits
The Perfect Breed for Backyard Production
We raise show-calibre Satin rabbits in black, blue, broken, chocolate, and otter. We have been raising these jewel-like rabbits for over 18 years and find them to be the perfect fit for backyard show and meat production. Satins have calm personalities, good mothering instincts, hardiness, and a beautiful and unique sheen to their fur. Unlike most of the other commercially-typed breeds, they come in a vibrant array of varieties and your nestboxes can be a rainbow of colour! Show-calibre Satins bred to the American Rabbit Breeders Association’s Standard of Perfection have medium bone and excellent feed conversion efficiency, carcass quality, and meat-to-bone ratio. With all of these qualities and a luxurious coat of fur unlike any other commercial breed, we can’t think of a better breed of rabbit to raise on our homestead.
Peek Into The Rabbitry
What’s Happening In The Rabbitry?
In the spring of 2018, southwestern British Columbia experienced a number of outbreaks of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Virus variant 2 (RHDV2). As a result, we were unable to compete in shows for most of 2018. The virus also caused us to scale back our herd and shut down our breeding program. We were able to bring things back succesfully for the 2019 show season and are very happy to have had excellent results including multiple legs, an honourable mention, a Reserve In Show, and excellent results with our entry at the 96th ARBA Convention in Reno, Nevada.
