Welcome to Wags Ranch located in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley. Ok, so maybe the word “Ranch” is a little ambitious for our just less than 5 acres. But we all have to start somewhere right?
The "ranch" is very definitely a family affair, with our children helping with chores as soon as they are capable. It has been a long standing goal to raise as much as our family's food as possible in order to provide the best for our family. To that end we have Nigerian Dwarf goats for our dairy needs, a small flock of chickens, an orchard and a garden.
"Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds... And you will have enough goats’ milk for yourself and your family." - Proverbs 27: 23 & 27
"I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture, its breed of useful animals, and other branches of a husbandman's cares." - George Washington
"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."
–Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Jay (Aug. 23, 1785)
