Projects improving the campus & More goats!

This summer we have been doing a number of simple things to improve the campus. These projects include cleaning and organizing the village area (barn and surroundings), working in the garden, fixing the animal pens, a deck project on the barn, converting the detached garage into a library, and more. These are low hanging fruit and have been simple adjustments to existing spaces. But the “pay-off” for these projects is huge. We’re seeing a more and more functional campus and a deepening of our vision with each passing day. Below are some pictures of what has been happening.

Also, great news! We got 10 new goats (and have the ability to night-pen them each night which keeps them safe). Some of these goats are as young as 9-10 weeks. They’re adorable. We now have 12 Nigerian Dwarf goats, 1 llama, 1 mini-mule, 1 duck, and 1 horse. It’s a great little animal family. We have discovered that certain animals have an inclination towards others - like the duck and the mini-mule. Who knew?! They’re surprising besties. The duck follows Festus the mule all over the place.
