Remembering Jupiter

The barn is quieter now. Last week, we said goodbye to Jupiter. For quite some time, she had been bravely coping with stifle arthritis and frequent falls. There were many days when we weren’t sure we could help her back up, but she always found the strength to try again.

Ultimately, we had to make the decision for her—one we know was best for her comfort and dignity. Jupiter no longer needs to fight through pain or endure another cold, icy Michigan winter. She found her rest on a warm and beautiful day, surrounded by love, and no trauma.

Jupiter’s spirit and resilience will always be remembered and deeply missed. Thank you to everyone who cared for her and shared in her journey.

Rest easy, sweet Jupiter.

🐐💜 The girls are starting to adjust to their new routine now that all the kids have headed off to their new farms. They weren’t too sure about all the changes at first, but they're finally getting back into their milking schedules and enjoying a little more time to relax. Here’s to happy, well-rested goats!

With all the heat and rain, we moved the alpaca hay rack into the barn where their fans are. They seem to approve the change.

There’s something magical about watching the mist roll over the farm at sunrise.

Talking about hats, gloves, and scarves in the middle of July might seem a little out of place as we soak up the sun and enjoy 80-degree weather—but this is actually the best time to start planning your cozy winter creations! Whether you love knitting for relaxation or are thinking ahead for thoughtful holiday gifts, don’t wait for winter’s first snowflake to start your next project. We’ve just restocked with a gorgeous variety of natural wool colors—perfect for whatever you have in mind.

Nuggets training and exposure to new situations has begun. Today was her first time in the cross ties. She rocked it of course. Not much phases this girl, but she knows and trusts us. We take everything slow, quick spurts, and lots of phrase. Getting her ready to head to training in the Spring, where she can focus on what’s really important. Not the small stuff.
