Official Launch!

My husband is an amazing man, and he chooses time and time again to support my dreams, and so: ROGUE MOUNTAIN FARMS is born!

He is the handy-man, the inspiration, the full-time provider, and though he insists they're my projects, it truly is a family affair. Even my mama-in-law ('mother' is too formal, and I love and enjoy her too much) is involved, as we'll be trading goats and horses back and forth. And I'm sure our little girl will get a kick out of making homemade butter and helping to color soaps.

Tricky briars!

So, it'll be an experimental process, with lots of fun projects and natural and chemical free things to smell and buy and try.

In time, we plan to offer: 

Goat's milk and 
Various types of cheeses (haloumi, feta, mozzarella, "farmers" cheese, cheddar, etc.) and spreads
Yogurts and Kefir
Butter
Ice cream and creamsicles 
Caramels
Chocolate Coconut Fudge
Tootsie Roll candies

As well as non-edibles such as:

Soap
Facial cleansers and Body scrubs
Essential oils and essential oil salves

And as we build our stock, and my beehives get going, we'll add elements such as these:

Eggs from happy and free-range, backyard chickens
Honey candies and honey products (but I won't commit my bees to honey for sale yet, as they're usually so busy their first year just building up winter stores for survival)
Rabbits

and we're considering chicken and rabbit meat, as well. 


I'm so excited!

Goats!
