About Us
Whimsy Mini Nubians came to be in 2014 as our family sought out possible avenues of self sufficiency. Milk = cheese, yogurt, kefir, soap, and even ice cream! And so it was decided that we needed to keep dairy goats. After much research it was decided that we start with a mini breed ... the long ears were a MUST (initially ...) so the Mini Nubian breed was our perfect match.
However ....
We made some exciting and surprising additions beginning in 2019! We are very excited to have added Lamanchas and Mini Lamanchas to our little herd - the first was Charlotte, our oldest son’s 2020 4-H fair goat.... and she made such an impression upon us that as of 2024 our LaMancha count is nearly equal to our Mini Nubian count!
We also keep chickens that are fed organic, GMO free feed and they produce the most wonderful rainbow eggs. We have a very diverse flock - composed of many breeds including crested cream legbars, marans, welsomer, salmon faverolle, marraduna basque, cochin, black australorp, white leghorns, Easter & olive egger, and more. From time to time we hatch purebred crested cream legbars as well as barnyard mixes that are just about guaranteed to lay colorful eggs!
This winter will mark seven years of goat soap being made and sold straight from the goat! I am proud to announce that the soap making is going fantastic and we plan to continue our efforts to keep this herd self sufficient! So when you buy a bar, you’re supporting my herd! Thank you!
