Two weeks ago, we added 2 Nigerian Dwarf goat babies to our herd from another herd near by in order to mix up the breeding. They have settled in well.
Two of our pregnant mamas gave birth the week of March 15th. Our biggest goat had 3 babies, and the other one had 1, bringing our herd to 22. We have 3 more pregnant mamas ready to give birth this Spring!
Over the coming months, we will be working hard to expand our barn to make more space for our growing herd. We will work towards building our greenhouses this Spring/Summer as well and much more!
The 2022 planting and growing season begins soon. Stay tuned for updates…
In the coming months, we will be meeting with our community partners across Canada including Elders, church leaders, business owners to create a plan for reaching out to those who this project is for, to discuss accessing more farm land in their respective areas and to brainstorm and project plan.
Over the Summer of 2021, our goat herd grew from 11 to 16 goats with 5 babies being born between mid August to Mid September (3 females and 2 males). Our breeder male (Olomi), is back on the job and we hope to be welcoming more additions to the herd in the Spring of 2022.
- We have begun our new barn project, we hope to have it completed by Fall 2022.
- Our 2021 growing season saw more Amaranth, water leaf and local crops. We are collecting
some of our own seeds as well. - In the growing season of 2020, we had a good crop of Amaranth, water leaf, garden egg,
bitter leaf, traditional to Nigerian cuisine and natural medicines. Amaranth is also known to grow
very well in our climate.
Thank you to our supporters and partners. We appreciate you!
