• Morning and evening feeding and animal care
• occasional Milking and milk bottling
• Caring for baby goats during kidding season 🐐

This is hands-on, real farm work, and every day is a little different!

• Safe handling and processing of goat milk products
• Animal health, nutrition, and basic veterinary care

Spring and summer are especially fun—with lots of baby goats to help care for and socialize!

• 3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms
• Full kitchen and living space
• Internet access
• TV with streaming (Prime & Netflix)

We require a minimum 2-week stay, but prefer one month or longer.

I had an amazing time here. The whole time I was there we got to take care of the goats, chickens, cows, pigs and dogs. Through feeding and by milking the goats I got to know all their personalities. Kellie takes good care of the wwoofers. She does a weekly schedule so you know what you're doing, and what projects we will do. You'll be trained for feeding, taking care of the babies Goats, chores, etc. You will learn every day something new like how to take care of the Kidding Seasons, how to bottle milk, move pigs, etc.
Kellie has extraordinary knowledge of Goats & Animal medication she is very willing to share her knowledge & explains every question you have about Goats and farm related. Kellie also do cheesemaking and will show you how the process is done.
The housing situation is great each wwoofers has they own room and share a full-size kitchen and living room which by the way when we have kidding seasons, we bring the babies goats inside and teach them how to drink from a bottle. That is so fun.
Thank you so much for the opportunity.

It was a pleasure being part of the ranch team. For my first wwoofing stay, it was a crash course in effective farm management. Kellie has lots of irons in the fire every day, manages the farm well, and still found time to share her knowledge with us. And a shout-out to Andy for being a good guide and team-mate and sharing his knowledge and experience with me. While the ideal wwoofer crew there is three, I think the two of us did ok. Kellie expressed appreciation for how hard I worked.
My favorite task was feeding the baby goats. And caring for the goats in general was a rewarding experience for me. Each one has their own personality, similar to us humans, and it was fun to spend time with these amazing creatures. I also have to say that the goat milk there is the best I’ve ever tasted and enjoyed. And call me cuckoo but I believe expressing gratitude to the chickens for their (really good) eggs increased their daily egg count.
Thank you, Kellie, Robert, Andy, and newcomer Cherry for an enjoyable stay. It was a wonderful experience.

I stayed here for 2 months, the experience was super; my first time wwoofing and a good one. My stay was therapeutic, and meant more to me than Kellie (ranch owner) would know, the goats are funny and cute, my favorite being Voodoo (she’s a bit round).
Kellie was welcoming and friendly, and always had the answer to whatever I was curious about. The accommodations were more than enough, nice room to stay in and I was well fed. I’m really happy I chose to stay here :^) .

This was an incredible experience! So good, I actually ended up becoming a farm manager there and running the farmers markets for a year.
Kellie is an awesome host who is passionate about what she does and very knowledgeable. She is very willing to share her knowledge also and does a good job to help you understand different concepts and ideas.
The housing situation is the best I've ever experienced on a farm having a very nice doublewide mobile home with a master bedroom, full size bathroom, and full size kitchen and living room with high speed internet access and tv.
If you want to learn the dairy goat business, cheesemaking, and how to work with a variety of animals on a "homestead" type of situation with a focus on regenerative ag, then this is the place for you!
You'll probably fall in love with the animals, just saying haha

I spent 3 weeks at the ranch and had a great time! I was mostly feeding all the goats, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats and cows. I learnt lots through spending time with the animals but also with the great farm manager, Brandon and owner, Kellie. They are incredibly knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. I learnt about pasteurization and cheese making. Got to raise newborn goats and even see some newborn piglets! Couldn't recommend the ranch enough.
