Fork Creek Farm Central Virginia Pasture-Based farm currently specializing in Free-Range duck and chicken eggs, goat milk herdshares, goat milk soap, and Red Wattle Pork.

We will be adding more as we can! Fork Creek Farm is a locally owned and managed natural, free-range, pasture based farm. We do our best to adhere to our high standards of sustainable and holistic farm practices in all of our farming operations. Healthy, happy animals and rich, fertile soil always yield the best nutrition for our bodies and souls. We are still in the process of growing our flocks and gardens, and do not have all of our products available at this time. Currently we are offering free-range, natural duck eggs, goat milk herdshares, goat milk soap, and pasture-raised Red Wattle pork! Our long term goals include earning Animal Welfare Approved status. Being a central Virginia farm, we are also very involved in the Local Food movement. We are working with local stores and restaurants to deliver high quality, locally produced meat and eggs to our surrounding markets. Please check back with us often for updates, helpful hints, recipes, and more! Thanks for stopping in.

We are all settled in at the glorious Virginia State Fair! Wish us luck!

Sorry for the delayed post! Imogen and I had a blast at the innaugural Dairy Goat Society of Virginia show over the weekend. It was a lovely bunch of people putting on a great show. Looking forward to next year. I had been asked back in April to be show secretary, and of course said yes, but we also decided to bring sweet little Bagel. She wasn't too pleased we left her half sister, Ebony at home (nor was Ebony, her indignation pictured), but we had fun hanging out with her. She won Reserve Champion Recorded Grade junior twice. So that now gives her 3 little green ribbons. And to have to be second fiddle, I'm happy it was behind the gorgeous concert mistress, Keiko, of Robin 's! She is stunning! So now we look forward to showing at the Virginia State Fair, then rest easy till the Doe-Nut show in spring!

Very excited about our show results today! As many of you know, I am permanent show secretary at Son of a Buck Show, but today I also brought my best guy, Fork Creek Edate (https://genetics.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=B002173026). In AOP, all Alpines and he the only Oberhasli, he managed to whip out Reserve Champion under Arika Zeiter and Grand Champion under Kristopher Fraley! Yay, Edate! Great work buddy!

It's been fun finally getting back into showing, and we are having a great year! Little Bagel (https://genetics.adga.org/GoatDetail.aspx?RegNumber=E002436415) also earning Reserve Champion at the SOBS Doe-Nut show this past April in a pretty competitive Recorded Grade show. Hopefully she will find similar success in two weeks when I will be secretarying for the Innaugural Dairy Goat Society of Virginia show!

An excellent article written by our friend Anna Thompson Hajdik.

This month, the story of a slaughtered goat went viral. The saga, and the media response, reveals a lack of agricultural literacy in America.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. We certainly did! Late in the evening, Bravo finally lambed with one ewe and one ram. They are healthy and mama is taking very good care of them. Their names are Astrid and Arvid.

Yesterday, our first ewe lamb, Sigrid, had her first baby. It's another ewe lamb, who we named Brynhild II, after Sigrid...

Yesterday, our first ewe lamb, Sigrid, had her first baby. It's another ewe lamb, who we named Brynhild II, after Sigrid's twin sister who (sadly) died. Right now, they are in the lambing pen with Sigrid's mother Bravo, who is also due very soon.

Good afternoon, friends! Deepest apologies for such silence. We haven't been having the successes we are accustomed to with our goat herd, partially due to the major issues currently ongoing with the ADGA, and also due to health issues with adjusting to the new farm.

HOWEVER, we shall prevail, and have had some successes with our small flock of sheep! We went to Carolina FiberFest this weekend. I entered one of my spindle-spun yarns into the fiber arts competition and a fleece into the fleece sale. The yarn won first place in the Novice Spinner category, and our fleece sold in mere minutes! The fleece sold so fast that it was already gone by the time I tried to go back and get a photo of it displayed! I was absolutely in shock! So kudos to Imogen and her fine ram, Lightning Splash! And I'm thrilled to keep spinning and learning to make yarn!

So, I picked up a used Louet wheel and will learn to spin on it. Boy does Irish Tension come with a learning curve! If you have any pointers or suggestions, please send them my way!

May your new year be as well protected as our farm! Happy New Year from all if us here at Fork Creek Farm and Bandito!

All this wonderful summertime rain has left us with way too much grass in the yard. So we deployed The Lawnmowers.
