3 Crosses Ranch

3 Crosses Ranch We raise grass fed goats and free range chickens for meat and eggs. Welcome to the page for 3 Crosses Ranch.

Currently, we are raising grass fed goats for dairy and meat. We also have a very small flock of future laying hens and a small flock of free range broilers. If you have a request for a specialty product (rabbit, guineas, quail eggs, etc) let us know. Because we are small and adaptable, we may be able to accommodate those requests if there is a market! Additionally, I (Heather) will be trying my h

and at some "value added" products, like goat milk soap and lotion, and maybe some cheese! I hope to document my successes and failures here for your viewing pleasure and will be offering the soap and lotion for sale.

One of our goats surprised us this morning with two little kids! She must have been pregnant when he purchased her. We will be spending the next several days trying to keep them warm!!

There is still time to get Christmas chickens and goats! Goats are $2.00/pound live weight. We have various sizes of both male and female goats available. We also still have heritage breed chickens averaging a little over 4 lbs after processing.

I went and visited one of my "competitors" today. All I am going to say here is that it is well worth the drive in order to purchase from a producer who ensures the health and well being of the animals they offer. All of our goats and chickens have ample room to forage, run, play, lay down, etc, and they are generally kept in sexed pens (sometimes the hatchery accidentally sends us the wrong gender and bucklings are left with their mom until weaning), so the girls will not be constantly harassed by several males. Any animals we purchase for resale are either held long enough for us to ensure their health or purchased from small family farms that I have personally visited and ensured the health of the animals. Oh...and our prices are generally LOWER. Sorry for the rant, but I was just so sad by what I witnessed today.

I am very excited to be chosen to vend at City Center Market THIS SATURDAY during their craft and artisan event. Join us from 9-4 and check out the local offerings!! I will have lotion and soap (and possibly a few other things). Also, thank you to everyone who purchased lotions before September 7. My church was able to raise all of the funds necessary to start the second campus in Isanti. Without your patronage, I couldn't have contributed. Again, thank you!

Chickens and goats are now available for purchase! While not certified organic, all of the feed they have had since hatching has been organic and the land they are living on has not been treated with any kind of chemicals in at least six years (since I purchased it). You can come and choose your bird and we will process while you wait (or you can come back if you want). This way, you can see them living healthy, chicken lives. Only $3.50 per pound "dressed" weight. Goat prices are variable and reflect the price we purchased them for. They have been grass fed only (okay...so grass and a few goat treats), since arriving at our ranch. Goats can only be sold live and you must arrange for processing to your specifications, but we can deliver it to a local processor if you wish. As with our chickens, you are more than welcome to visit the ranch and select the goat you would like so you can see them living healthy goat lives.

The first batch of broilers are moved to their new home...a portable coop made from a pop up canopy and wood and metal mesh sides (all re-purposed items we already had). I made them a roost with reclaimed wood that they seem to like.
