Farm Visits and Biosecurity Concerns
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.
If you are interested in purchasing goats or puppies from us first you’ll need to fill out the goat or puppy questionnaire. No visits, deposits or purchases can be made until the appropriate form has been filled out, nor will we answer phone calls for more information without this form first being completed. These questionnaires have been designed to help us serve our customers by getting all of their information in one place BEFORE we proceed further with more in depth discussions or visits. They also help us separate serious buyers from tire kickers and looky loos. It has been our experience that the large majority of people who refuse to answer the questionnaire before talking on the phone or visiting in person are not serious and do not end up buying animals most of the time. There’s really no reason to waste your time or ours if you’re not serious but if you are then please, fill out the appropriate questionnaire. Once you’ve done this then we’ll be happy to answer all your questions by phone, text or email, as well as discuss future possible visits, if seeing the animals in person is your preference.
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. You can see our Maremmas in action, guarding their herd, photos of all available baby and adult goats, photos of current and past Maremma litters, as well as lots of photos and videos going back several years that depict how our Maremma puppies and goats are raised. More photos are available on our farm Instagram and Facebook pages. We work hard to keep our website and social media accounts up to date and relevant, so that people can become familiar with our farm in a safe and convenient way.
We also have lots of articles, links and information to assist you in making your choice and are happy to answer any questions you have. Once you’ve decided which animals you want to reserve we will send you a PayPal invoice for the non-refundable Reservation Fee, which will hold your goats or puppies until they are ready to be picked up. No animal will be held without a paid Reservation Fee. On your scheduled pick up day we will bring your animals to you in the parking area so as to minimize health risks to animals and humans alike.
