Llamas and    Nigerian Dwarf Goats
Welcome to our farm, what started out as 2 goats and 2 llamas has grown into 20+ goats and 26 llamas.  We are located in Fortville, Indiana, just east of Indianapolis.
Our goal is to raise and train these wonderful animals so that others can enjoy how gentle and loving these animals can be.
Come See Us Grow!
Our family has purchased 57.5 acres near Spiceland, Indiana.  Our goal is to expand our farm by offering Artisian Goat Cheese, Llama Fiber Crafts, and many unique fruits and vegetables.  Our goal is to move in in 2009!!  Follow our progress with the links below.

Ground has broken on the Dairy!
Ground has broken on the Dairy  Barn.  Kristy is on the pad looking for her equipment to make cheese. (Just kidding)  We want to get the barn sealed up so we can spend time finishing the inside this winter.
Planting trees and pastures
Jessica planting grass seed along the drive.  The drive will have Redbud and Dogwood trees with lots of perennial flowers.
Jess and her llama Tommy working on the pack class at the Madison County Fair. Their hard work paid off with the Grand Championship at the fair.  They are looking forward to competing at the Indiana State Fair.
Jess and Pollen won the Junior Dairy Goat Showmanship at the Hancock County Fair as well as Reserve Nigerian Dwarf Senior Doe.
