Llamas and    Nigerian Dwarf Goats
Welcome to our farm, what started out as 2 goats and 2 llamas has grown into 17 goats and 27 llamas.  We are located in Fortville, Indiana, just east of Indianapolis.
Our goal is to raise and train these wonderful animals so that others can enjoy how gentle and loving these animals can be.
Come See Us Grow!
Our family has purchased 57.5 acres near Spiceland, Indiana.  Our goal is to expand our farm by offering Artisian Goat Cheese, Llama Fiber Crafts, and many unique fruits and vegetables.  Our goal is to move in in 2009!!  Follow our progress with the links below.  The drive is being cut in, barns are being built, fence posts are being put into the ground, pastures will be planted in the spring, the list goes on and on!
