Welcome to 2ChixFarm
We are a small hobby farm, with big aspirations!
Join us on our journey, to goats, chickens, gardening, and good 'ole self sufficient country living.
Our goals here are simple - to live within our means in a way that is good for us, for those creatures we care for, and for the land. This means we practice techniques like rotational grazing, and composting waste so that it can return to the gardens and pastures. We take great pride in having healthy and happy stock - we care for them, knowing that they will ultimately give their lives for us. As part of that journey, we do our best to improve whatever breed it is that we are working with.

2ChixFarm is home to the Sans Gene herd of Nigerian Dwarf Dairy goats. This is a small goat, with big goat attitude! A very good choice for those who want to produce milk at home, but don't have a lot of space. The goals set for the goats are to preserve the breeds exceptional milk quality (very high protein and butterfat) while increasing the volume of milk they can produce, and to preserve and improve their general hardiness and vigor.
2ChixFarm is also home to the only (I think) American bred strain of auto-sexing chicken. These birds are The Perfect Homestead Chicken - hardy, great foraging ability, just enough desire to set on eggs, laying for us here through most of the winter, and large enough that the extra cockerals are worth raising for the freezer. They are a simple and economical way to provide for yourself, while knowing exactly what went into the food you are eating.
Finally, there is the garden.... It's big, and it's productive, and we eat a great many of our meals from this alone, through all four seasons. I'll work on getting better pictures, and start a separate garden page, as time permits.
