Goats doing what they do best.

Six years ago, we left busy careers, sold the house in the city and moved to a farm near Portland in beautiful Rideau Lakes.   We were longing for peace and quiet and a few acres to walk the dogs, off leash.  Once settled in, we began filling pastures with livestock and buying equipment without any farming knowledge... Much like the popular UK series Clarkson's Farm, except on a much smaller scale and budget.   

SunnyFarm was born in April 2020 when we welcomed our initial flock of sheep and two livestock guardian puppies.  Life hasn’t been the same since.  

Soon after we welcomed Jersey cows and a dozen calves which they helped nourish and raise.  Things got increasingly involved once we pivoted from sheep to dairy and fiber goats.  We discovered we love interacting with goats more even though they put us through our paces mentally and physically every day.  

YouTube how to videos, close neighbours and experts at the Perth Veterinary Clinic have become our go to fountain of knowledge as we continue our agricultural journey.  

Little did we know that this move is part of a broader trend and that others share the same passion for back to basics as we do. 

At SunnyFarm, we are proud to play a part in producing locally grown food from well cared for animals that browse nature's foliage and graze  native grasses, and are not subjected to growth hormones, pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Our goat herd consists of dairy breeds (saanen, alpine & lamancha) and our cattle herd are a mix of herefords and jerseys.

If you are interested in knowing more about what we do, we would love to hear from you!
