On April 18, 2015, my family and I got three new additions to our family farm, JNRfarms, three kids (baby goats)!  The breed of all three are Alpine; we chose this breed for a couple of reasons.  For one, they produce great milk.  The milk tastes great and tastes practically the same as cow’s milk, […]

Meet our chicken Lizzy, a sweet, loving chicken.  This special chicken was lame when she was younger, but she seemed to out-grow it until she got her toe stuck in a pitch-fork when she was still younger (I know, once-in-a lifetime chance, but it happened).  This seemed to re-awaken the problem, to a higher pain, […]
