Windy Ridge Acres, LLC - Mitchell Farmstead

Windy Ridge Acres, LLC - Mitchell Farmstead The farmstead was established in December of 2020 and has slowly grown yearly. It all started with a small flock of 6 backyard chickens. In the city.

We specialize in handmade goat milk soap, pasture-raised eggs, baked goods, and some seasonal produce. Nate and Amanda married in 2008, started a small family, frequented the farmers market and became enthralled with chickens. A few years later they decided the kids were old enough to 'help' raise some chicks and the rest is history. Backyard chickens were the perfect gateway animal to wanting mor

e land, more chickens, and more animals! They sold their Lexington home, moved two counties over to Lawrenceburg and grew their flock. Amanda started a garden and planted a few fruit trees. Then they added goats to help with the overgrown brush in the pastures. Then Amanda started milking the goats and making goat milk soap. That's how their little farmstead started. Follow them on their journey to see what other adventures, animals, and plants they decide to add to their farmstead.

šŸšŸšŸThis is Opalā€™s second kidding and both times sheā€™s had TRIPLETS! šŸ¤© More details to come as everyone settles in. I need to dip umbilical cords in iodine, check weight, and make sure everyone nurses to get colostrum. But first I need lunch!

Yesterday our herd suffered an attack by two dogs. We lost one (of the three) kids. Three goats had no injuries- two of those being the pregnant does. Many superficial scratches from bites, 3 goats requiring stitches, deep puncture wounds, and lots of stress. Iā€™m grateful the emergency vet was available! Lots of iodine, antibiotics, pain relievers, and love were administered. My new routine for the next several days is 2x daily wound care, pain management, and daily supplements (B complex injections, probiotics, zinc, and of course, animal crackers. The goats donā€™t want to go in their shed; where the dogs had them cornered. They are hanging out as far as away from the shed as possible. We are keeping them in their winter pen until we evaluate the fence line for holes.

šŸ Alvinā€™s new thing is to follow me e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e! Yesterday morning he followed me out of the pen, to the house, to the chicken coop, and back to the pen. I locked the gate and he screamed at me to come back. šŸ„¹šŸ„°
