Our goat is certified organic until it leaves our transport vehicle. We do wash, clean, and provide fresh clean transport floor covering according to USDA organic NOP standards. We do ask that our animals be processed first before other animals. Our current processor has committed to processor our animals first. Our processor also provides a live weight, hanging weight, and finished weight tracking for us. This is also a satisfaction of USDA Organic NOP Standards. The facility does use cleaning agents that are not approved for organic use but does not come in contact with the meat. Since there are no organic processing facilities here in Ohio we are not able to complete the organic claim once the goat leaves the transport vehicle. While it is here under our stewardship it is certified organic. So you will observe the products offered do not have certified organic in their description because the organic claim stopped at the transport vehicle.
With no fences, our goats roam our valley farm in East Sparta free range, with an open greenhouse at the center of the farm for their shelter.
With lush pasture of alfalfa and clover, and many medicinal herbs in the wild corners of the farm, why would they leave? Our registered Nigerian dwarf herd not only has unusually sweet, rich flavored meat from this forage, but have grown over generations to an unusually large size for the breed.
You can find our goat in our storefront at the farm, or Howe Meadow and Old Trail School markets.
Our herd has bloodlines from such prestigious farms as Woodbridge. Generally because of the large size our goats tend towards, we have chosen smaller bucks to keep size within the standards for this breed. We have only bred our goats with purebred Nigerians. We have many in just the right size, attractive, and unusual colors, and blue eyes. Contact for available breeding stock or pets.
