Farm Visits and Biosecurity
Due to the biosecurity risk to our dairy goat herd and our Maremma Sheepdog puppies we do not allow farm visitors into our barn area, pastures or whelping areas. Diseases such as CAE, CL and Johnes Disease and Canine Parvovirus and Distemper pose a serious threat to our animals and can be inadvertently brought in on shoes and clothing. Until the puppies have had all of their vaccinations they are at great risk so we need to minimize contact with the outside world as much as possible for their safety.
COVID 19 is also a risk to our family and our customers. In order to keep humans and animals alike safe and healthy we will minimize contact as much as possible when visitors come to the farm.
If you are interested in purchasing goats or puppies from us first you’ll need to fill out the goat or puppy reservations form. Photos, pedigrees and other information for all of the animals we have for sale as well as every goat or Maremma we own or ever have owned can be seen on our website. We also have lots of articles and information to assist you in making your choice and are happy to answer any questions you have. When you’ve decided which animals you want to reserve we will send you a PayPal invoice for the non-refundable deposit which will hold your goats or puppies until they are ready to be picked up. No animal will be held without a deposit. On your scheduled pick up day we will bring your animals to you in the parking area near the barn gate so as to minimize health risks to animals and humans alike.
We understand that some people prefer to view the animals we have available in person at the farm before placing a deposit. If that is your preference we can schedule a visit for you after you fill out the appropriate form. If you do not fill out the form you cannot visit. We will need you to indicate which animals you are interested in seeing when you make your appointment to visit. Once you arrive we will bring the animals you’re interested in to our viewing area by the gate for you to see. If we don’t have any available animals for sale then you’ll need to wait to schedule your visit until we have animals available, since we won’t have anything to show you until then. We do not schedule new buyers to view available animals until all of the people who have previously paid deposits have made their picks. Most people reserve online so be aware that if you choose not to do so all of the goats or puppies may be sold before you come to the farm.
We no longer conduct Farm Tours or schedule visits for anyone other than customers coming to pick up animals, because of the health risks previously described. If you would like to see photos and videos of our animals we suggest you peruse our website and follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in protecting the health of our animals, family and customers.
