On Fridays, we hope to share a few photos – just some simple moments from our farm to you giving you an insider’s view on what farm life looks like.
The first Friday of every month in 2026 is a calendar week; this week we are highlighting March 2026 from our Shalom Farms Calendar.
The Photo
Following the Hoofprints
There is a lot of talk about “finding your own way” in the world, but on the farm, I’m often reminded that the safest way is usually just following the feet in front of you.
This is Walter, one of Daisy’s Mini Mancha triplets from 2025.
As a cross between a standard LaMancha and a Nigerian Dwarf, these “minis” are known for being hardy and productive, but in a much smaller package.
In this photo, Walter is only a few days old. He’s still figuring out how to coordinate all four of those white-socked legs, and his best strategy is simply to stay as close to Daisy’s “tree trunk” legs as possible.
He doesn’t have a map or a plan yet; he just knows that where she goes, there is milk, warmth, and safety.
There is a lot of peace in just staying close.
The Power of Three
Walter wasn’t alone in following those hoofprints; he had his sister, Dorothy, and his bro Edwin to keep him company!
These three were so special that when a visitor came to the farm to look at his sister, Dorothy, they couldn’t bear to break them up and ended up taking the whole trio home together.
It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes the “extra” isn’t a burden—it’s exactly what makes your story complete.
Spring Kids
Kidding chaos is right around the corner!
For 2026, we are selling our kids as bottle babies.
This means they’ll be ready to go to their new homes at just 1–2 weeks old, which is a wonderful way to bond with them while they are still tiny.

Raw Goat Milk Season
While we are still waiting for the first babies to arrive, the milk season is just around the corner. If you want to secure a spot for fresh, creamy milk at your family table, hop on the 2026 Milk Waitlist.
Scripture are those tall, strong goat legs that all of us should trust-in and follow...
My mom and mother-in-law both love their calendars!!! You guys made me a hero!!!
