Organic & Sustainable Farming Benefits
The image of a traditional rural lifestyle, with cows grazing out at pasture, chickens pecking in the barnyard, and a lush mix of produce thriving in the fields, finds its fulfillment in the organic farm. Livestock are raised in healthy, airy conditions, free of antibiotics and growth hormones.
Organic farmers focus on feeding the soil, not the plants. Healthy soil rich in organic matter and microorganisms makes for vigorous plants that resist pests and disease. Healthy, living soil is vital to organic farming. The natural end result of this is that farmers strive to maintain ecological balance through their farming practices. Continual addition of compost, tilled-under cover crops, animal manures, and other naturally sourced nutrients enrich the soil in much the same way as happens in nature. This rich soil, in turn, yields flavorful produce higher in antioxidants and other nutrients than many conventional crops.
Organically-grown fields are also better equipped than conventional ones to fight off pests and disease. With efficient, intelligent management, organic farming offers similar yields to conventional. While conventional farms may have higher yields in optimum growing conditions, vigorous organic crops can even outyield conventional ones in a difficult growing year. Organic production does have higher labor costs, but this is generally offset with higher prices at the grocery store.
Organic farmers bring their considerable creativity to bear in selling their crops, as well. Many small farms operate roadside produce stands; others use community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs to sell their products. The CSA model, where consumers subscribe to a weekly, biweekly, or monthly "share" of whatever a farm is producing, is becoming increasingly popular. Harvest festivals and pick-your-own crops are also customer favorites.

At Just Kidding Nigerian Dwarf Goat Farm, we are dedicated to breeding for great personalities with the best milk production in a small package. We are located in Central Pennsylvania and nestled in Buckwheat Valley. We are a small farm of eight does and three bucks. I was lucky in 2010 to find two beautiful does for sale in NY. When they had kids we decided to keep two of the females. From there we decided that we wanted a buck of our own, and we were lucky again, we found him in Felton, PA. I took in three more females when a very close friend needed help re-homing her goats so she could be with her husband again. All of are kids will be dis-budded, have their CD&T & Bovi-Sera vaccination & castrated if requested. And pre-spoiled! We are working on expanding; the new barn should be completed by summer. A word of caution to anyone thinking about starting a herd, they are addictive; you will soon want one of every color. They're gentle, loving animals that enjoy time with their owners.
