Back in 2013 my husband, David, told me he wanted to get a couple of goats - my thought "Goats? Okay, whatever, it'll be your thing". He decided on the Dwarf Nigerian breed and purchased a wether and doeling, later to be known as Ozzie and Harriet; then along came Bonnie and Clyde. Well, now, as they say - the rest is history.....
In January of 2014, we decided to expand the herd and after agreeing that we would keep it at a manageable number, our plan was to be at that point by the fall of 2015. At that time, we were still relatively new to goats and had the thought process that we would not only learn by doing additional research on the breed and attending the Cornell University Sheep and Goat Symposium, but learn as we grew our business. With that said, we made the commitment to purchase two more goats to begin the expansion of our herd.
There is a quote, 'things happen for a reason' - for us, that could never be more true. Shortly after purchasing our two new additions, we learned of a friend who needed to not only disperse her established herd, but to find homes for goats she recently purchased that had yet to arrive. As unfortunate it was for our friend, it was fortunate for us because the 'yet to arrive' goats were from farms in which we were on a wait list. In the meantime, as David was doing his 'homework' learning more about the reputable farm names in the goat world, he was finding more NDG kids that 'fit the bill' and although the timing wasn't what we had in mind in regards to our herd expansion, we were growing at a rapid pace and by mid-summer 2014 we were at our 'magic' number!
Owned and operated by husband and wife team, David and Sheila Bunch, Kindred Souls Farm is located in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania - the heart of Tioga County.
