Welcome!
We are so glad you stopped by to visit us. We currently live in the foot hills near Tellico Plains, Tennessee, and are blessed with a mountain view right from our living room. We choose country living for our way of life and we are thankful for the blessings and opportunities God has given us while being here. While we have many children in whose lives we take a personal interest, the only children we have personally are furry children. Our current residents are Kam and myself and our Nigerian Miniature Dairy Goats, and much wildlife who traverse freely. Although
country living is a way of life for us, our dairy goat adventure really
began in my (Jodi) childhood. You see, I grew up with all sorts of
animals. Goats and horses were very common additions and often retained
on our small family farm. I remember always having goats as part of the
family. As I grew into my teenage years I became more active with the goats and 4-H. My first show brought me a second place with a Recorded Alpine Grade broken Cou Clair Junior doe kid. This was not only the beginning of my involvement in breeding and showing dairy goats, but my young artist’s eye also helped me to be a natural at showing and choosing a very well balanced, sound animal. At some point in time, although not all at once, my family or I have owned Alpine, Nubian, LaMancha, Saanen, and Toggenburg goats. I was most known, however, for my Alpines. After a nearly 20 year break, our miniature dairy goats have been added to our way of life. We enjoy goat’s milk soap, butter, cheese, and the organic fertilizer the goats provide. They produce a safe and identified source to feed our organic heirloom garden.Then of course there is the personal pleasure and love these creatures offer us. Sometimes the zany things they do bring us gales of laughter. The Nigerian Dairy Goats are a wonderful piece of our life but they are a piece of many. I
am an artist, and do most of the gardening and gardening related items.
Kam is a CPA working in financial management and accounting systems
development and works an hour away in Knoxville. We take time to travel and experience different areas of the country. We do this mostly through camping, hiking, and backpacking. Our traveling has given us many blessings and adventures that often inspire the art work and photography I do. These moments have been such a gift to both of us that we like to share them with others either through stories or through the art. To
learn more about our dairy goats, the art and our adventures, please
take your time and look around. There is much to see and we hope you
find a blessing while exploring our website. If you have any questions
or comments please feel free to contact us and thanks for stopping in
for a visit! Kam & Jodi Ferguson
