If you have ever visited us, you know that sometimes you can smell the soap from our parking lot. If my office window is open, I often hear people comment how great everything smells as they cross the front porch. This makes me very happy. But if you are extremely sensitive to scent, this may […]
We get asked lots of questions when we’re doing farm tours, selling soap at craft fairs, or simply running errands. Since most of those answers are heard only by the person who asked, we decided to share some of the common questions here on the blog. And of course you can ask a question of your own! Brett, what is […]
My life is crazy busy and I need to make some hard choices on how to spend my time. One of the items that is important to me is exercise. It is important not only for my own health and sanity, but it is important that the children learn from an early age to build […]
Our dairy goats are not only foundational to Goat Milk Stuff, but they are a big part of our family as well. Each of them has a personality and during this series we’re hoping you’ll get to know more about them. Persephone was another one of the first goats we got when we rebuilt our herd from scratch. Like […]
When we first started Goat Milk Stuff, we needed an office to work from. Jim set one up for me and surprised me with this ball chair*: I admit, I was a little unsure of this chair when Jim proudly presented it to me, but after one week of using it, I was hooked. The […]
I’m not a big fan of our chickens in general, but I really don’t like roosters. Our biggest rooster is a Barred Rock and he is particularly annoying. He likes to run, as fast as he can, towards anybody that he thinks is inferior to him. Basically, anybody other than Dad and Colter. I recently […]

We LOVE to travel! We don’t get to do it as often as we would like because of the goats, but we always take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way. Normally it takes a LOT of time to plan a vacation for the ten of us. We have to figure out sleeping arrangements […]
We mentioned the new goat collars in the post about our goat photoshoot, but we didn’t explain why the collars all look different, and why that’s important. When we were talking about getting collars for our goats, we realized that we could use them as a tool. We figured out a system, and now, just […]
We’ve had the Beast for a while now, and it was getting really dirty. Because of the wrap (the pictures) we can’t take it to a car wash – not that it would fit in there anyway. So Dad told the kids one hot summer day that it was time to clean the Beast. “First […]

We’re starting a new series of videos that will help you get to know our family better. We’re calling them “Hang 10” since there are ten of us in the family. If you’ve ever wondered how Jim and I met, this is the video that reveals how it all started! What did you think? Bet you […]
Our dairy goats are not only foundational to Goat Milk Stuff, but they are a big part of our family as well. Each of them has a personality and during this series we’re hoping you’ll get to know more about them. Zuzu was one of the first goats we got when we rebuilt our herd from scratch – she’s […]
We have a pretty awesome garden here at Goat Milk Stuff. We love it so much, we wrote an entire blog series about it! Last year we planted a whole bunch of sunflowers in our garden. This year, we didn’t plant any. But we still had sunflowers – volunteers from last year’s dropped seeds. Aren’t […]
If you’ve been around our blog a while, you’ve probably discovered our Youngest Person Rule. I was looking through the camera* the other day and found these pictures of the Youngest Person Rule in action. For those of you who don’t know, the Youngest Person Rule means that the youngest person capable of doing the job […]
