Nothing beats quality time with a baby goat

In 2019, 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 a few acres to walk the dogs off leash.  Once settled, we began populating empty pastures with livestock without any farming knowledge...   

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 series of calves which they helped raise.  Things got even more interesting after pivoting from sheep to goats that challenge us 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 to learn by doing.  

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 graze native grasses, and not subjected to growth hormones, pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Our goat herd consists of saanen, alpine, angoras and pygoras, while the cattle herd consists of Jerseys that are so much easier to handle.

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