Loblolly Moon Farm

We moved here from the city when our five kids were small, and what started with a handful of local chicks from Craigslist blossomed into a hobby farm of epic proportions.  Free-ranging chickens galore, turkeys, guineas, Sebastopol geese, pigs, and dairy goats have been our calling.  Breeding and raising dairy goats has been my passion for the last several years.  Goats can be, long story short, very rewarding, though difficult animals to raise.  There are “goat whisperers” among us, for sure, but sadly, I, despite my best efforts, am not one of them.  After several years of raising dairy goats, my husband, Brian (not a goat fan…or a goat cheese fan, for that matter) had been trying to convince me that my energy may be better spent elsewhere.  I had also been pining for a puppy of my own because we had lost our Olde English Bulldogge, Ursula, a few years before.
