Hi everyone welcome to our little farm.  We  started out as a hobby with a few chickens, and some horses in Harvard Illinois. Our hobby has grown a bit since the beginning. We got a couple of Nigerian Dwarf goat wethers as pets for the girls, and fell in love with the breed. Their temperament is wonderful for young children so we decided to get our first doe to raise babies and show in 4-H. The farm has grown to breeding  Nigerian goats, and selling eggs. Our Nigerian Dwarf Goats are registered with the American Goat Society which is also where are Herd name is registered. We also have the whole herd registered with the American Dairy Goat Association, but I could not use Busy Bee so for them we are Buzzy Bee Farm but with the same tattoo. Our first babies were born on May 02, 2008 on the farm and we have been hooked ever since. We went to our first Fair that year and learned so much from all the other goat breeders there. Our goats placed 2nd place in all three classes they were entered in with some of the bigger breeds, and continue to place even more. The girls favorite show class was costume class were they, and thier goats dressed up. Make sure you visit the gallery there are a lot of very cute pic's there.

 One of the things my daughters and I really enjoy doing with the milk is  making cheese and ice cream.

             We will sometimes have some goats for sale. I have added to the main menue a goat for sale page for you to see what we have available. I have also put one in for our Does & Bucks. We have 2 bucklings available for sale. For animals that stay here at the farm the boarding fee $1.00 a day with your own feed & hay, or $1.50 if we supply the feed & hay. You can call me on my cell phone #(815) 814-1011 or e-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

     We purchased our very own Buck in 2009, a year earlier than planned.  Thanks to Beth at Private Idaho for the opportunity to buy this great looking boy. We added one more buck to our herd in 2010 for more great milking lines for our customers and ourselves. Our new buck came home from Beulah Land Farm in Chemung, Illinois. Thank you so much Mrs. Bernhardt we can't wait to start training him for the shows.

     We purchased our latest buck for our breeding program the fall of 2011. He is a great looking boy from Beulah Land Farm in Chemung, Illinois. This buck (Magnes) will not be available for stud to any outside Doe's. We are so pleased with the development of the last buck we got from Mrs. Bernhardt that we had to get another one from her. I will get more pictures of him very soon.

                The shows that we will be attending for the 2012 season is the Janesville Wis. show in May, the McHenry County fair in Woodstock Illinois August 1-5th, and hoping to get in at the Wisconsin State Fair. We had a great time at the last fair. We got our first two Grand Champion Doe's at this show. Our Doe Busy Bee Farm Rain got Grand Champion Milker, Grand Champion of All Other Purebreds, and recieved Grand Champion in the Champion Challenge. Our little doe Private Idaho EX Pandora recieved a Grand Champion in the Junior class. 

     My husband and I wanted to build a stall system for our pregnant Does since our herd has grown a bit since we started out. The thought behind this system was to be modular, and not terribly expensive to make. We are building our stalls out of oak pallets, and they have turned out great. The barn is an industrial strength tarp building that is enclosed (12ft. by 26ft.). We designed this so when we use it in the summer we will be able to put the sides up for plenty of air flow. We wanted to finish the barn before Rain has her babies in March, and my husband finished it today(1/24/11)!  Here are some pictures of our finished project.
