MiniHooves Mountain Farm is a 38 acre farm located in the
beautiful mountains of east Tennessee at the North Carolina line. Here
we raise Nigerian Dwarf, Oberhasli, and Nubian goats, along with Miniature Donkeys and Miniature Mules.
We bought
this abandoned Moonshiners farm in 1999 for our dogs. We have rescued several abused or abandoned dogs and wanted a place
away from people where our dogs could be dogs. Well, our farm has grown faster and larger than we had planned. We had 10 dogs
but lost one very spoiled Black & Tan Coon hound in 2008 to illness.
One day we saw Donkeys for sale in the local paper so we just
wanted to go look at them. Well, we came home with one. Soon found out that you need at least two of these animals. Now we
have several and have started raising them.
Then we went to, just look, at some Nubian goats and came
home with two.
Then we went to, just look, at some Nigerian Dwarf goats and came home with two and later got more. Then
we went to, just look, at some Oberhasli goats and came home with six.
Our farm keeps growing as we now make and sell Goats Milk
Soap. As we get more organized with our farm we plan to raise some of the old heritage breeds of chickens, turkeys, ducks,
and maybe pigs.
