The Joys of Livestock Cuddling: A Unique Farm Stay Experience

Goat Yoga hit the big time a few years ago. Started on a whim by Lainey Morse in 2016 when a yoga teacher suggested offering a class in the field with Lainey's goats, her Original Goat Yoga craze took off not only across the country but around the world. It was one of those silly ideas that livestock owners have known like... forever. Some of our animals can be down-right affectionate.

Springtime = Baby Animals!

When it comes to farming, winter tends to be a welcome respite -- depending on where you live of course -- where planning for the next season by cozy fires is the standard. After so much time indoors though, many farmers look forward to "springing into action" when the cold begins to subside and they begin planting their seedlings in greenhouses and, of course, readying themselves for the onslaught of baby animals that are about to arrive!

Small farm sustainability at Dogwood Hills in Harriet, Arkansas

Thomas and Ruth Pepler moved to their farm in 2009 from their hobby farm in New Jersey. In tow was their daughter, Gracie, with her 4-H meat goats and chickens. The property they bought had a little house in the woods on a steep slope surrounded by ‘hollers’ (we had to ask, “What exactly is a holler?” A holler is a steep valley with slopes that go straight up. It may have water in the bottom like a creek but not necessarily. It makes farming difficult.) Thomas had been recruited and hired for a job in a neighboring community. Ruth, a registered nurse, would stay home to home school Gracie. As it turned out, the farm was the perfect classroom.
