Good morning, everyone. This morning, we have our lawsuit hearing against Nader & Amanda Rayan. They are currently in the Camden County Jail, facing 44 charges. Of these, 40 charges have no bond, one charge has a $100,000 bond, and the other three have $17k and $11k bonds.

Please continue to pray for not only our family/animals but for all the victims involved in this horrific case.

Thank you both, Kingsland Police Department & The Brantley County Sheriff's Office.

Good evening, everyone. It's that time of year again. Palmetto Berries.

(We do pick ours; they do not go to waste)

PLEASE DO NOT attempt to trespass onto our farm to harvest palmetto berries illegally. Your safety is our top priority, and our farm is protected and monitored by 24-hour video surveillance. Both guard dogs and livestock dogs play a crucial role in preserving the farm.

THESE DOGS WILL ATTACK AND THEY WILL BITE.

THESE DOGS COULD KILL YOU IF WE ARE NOT ON THE PROPERTY TO CALL THEM OFF!

It's important to understand that our dogs are not inherently dangerous. They are accustomed to seeing hundreds of visitors every year, including kids, teens, and young adults, as well as many volunteers of all ages. They are not 'vicious,' but they do have a protective instinct towards the livestock and the property.

They see predators "jump the fence" or force their way through the fencing. When you enter our premises the correct way, the dogs dont see you as a "threat". The dogs are trained to protect the livestock and property from threats. When someone jumps the locked gates or the fencing, the dogs don't know the intruder's intentions; they know they're protecting the livestock.

Our dogs are one of our biggest attractions, and if you have been to the farm, then you have met our dogs. They love kids and people, but most of all, they love the livestock that they protect.

We do not want to see harm come to anyone or our animals. We cannot stress enough that our dogs are capable of attacking and biting. It's posted everywhere on our farm and fence.

Our dogs are monitored in real-time using cellular/GPS, allowing us to track their location, heart rate, movements, and more. This advanced system ensures your safety and the safety of our animals at all times.

We are deeply committed to ensuring a safe berry season for everyone. Please respect our boundaries and do not trespass. Your safety and the safety of our animals are our top priorities, and we are dedicated to providing a secure and enjoyable experience for all visitors.

We want to make it clear that we take trespassing on our farm very seriously. We will not hesitate to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Your safety and the safety of our animals are at stake, and we will not tolerate any actions that put them in jeopardy.

Owner Found!! ❤️❤️❤️

Cat found!

Late evening yesterday, we visited Palmetto Cemetery in Brunswick, GA. As we attended our close friend's burial, a cat approached and followed us the whole time. When we were leaving, it jumped into the car with us. We had the kids put the cat back, and again the cat followed the kids back to the car. We asked around, but nobody knew whose cat it belonged to.

No microchip
No collar

If you have lost a cat in that area, please contact us to verify. Must be able to identify and prove ownership. The cat is currently on a 7-day hold.

Good afternoon, everyone. We want to express our gratitude to everyone who has had a profound impact on our farm & rescue/sanctuary. Whether you've followed our page, shared our posts, tagged us in your own, volunteered, donated, or been a loyal customer, your contribution, no matter how big or small, is deeply valued and integral to our farm's success. You are the reason we can continue our mission, and we can't thank you enough.

We also want to express our gratitude to our contractors, businesses, and rescues, like Pine Haven Stables & Riding Academy, Big Frog Electric South, True Cut Saw Works, LLC., Sammy's Septic Service, Compassionate Care Pet Cremation No Kill Glynn County, FabuCats Inc., Dr. Overman/The Pet Doctor, and many more.

Your support, from providing hay/stable space to electrical work, saw services, sanitation maintenance, pet cremation, vet/emergency services, has been instrumental in our journey, and we thank and acknowledge every one of you.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our friends and neighbors, & volunteers, including the Howard Family, Flowers Family, Ryan Family, Sanders Family, Genova Family, and many more. Your support and friendship have been invaluable to us.

We get so busy at times that we don't give everyone the recognition and appreciation that we have for all of you. We know none of you contribute just for the recognition, but for the kindness of your heart. We have a large following, and I can't name you all in this post. Please know we thank you all and appreciate every one of you.

We want to share with you the challenges we face in managing our farm & rescue/sanctuary. With our kids in school and multiple school activities, and my husband battling a serious health condition, we have a lot on our plates. We recently moved to the farm full-time and manage our own social media and events, which can be overwhelming at times. Despite these challenges, we are committed to providing the best care for our animals. Your understanding and support are crucial as we navigate these challenges.

We handle as many rescue calls, information requests, and texts at all hours of the day and night. And let's not forget that something always needs to be done, whether it's fixing, repairing, replacing, cleaning, expanding, or, as the favorite, p**p duty. Our days are filled with tasks, but we appreciate your understanding and patience when we get behind on updates. Your support means the world to us.

Most of all, the hundreds of animals that call the farm home love and appreciate all of you. From the special treats to the piggy belly rubs, your love, and support make a world of difference to us and our animals. We thank each of you for being an integral part of our farm community.

The farm is open to the public. Please call or message us to schedule a time. We don't have set hours due to our busy schedule, but we are committed to making everyone feel welcome and included. We can always make arrangements for a visit!

Admission is free. Teachers & homeschool parents, 4-H, and FFA members are invited to plan a field trip to see the many animals that call the farm home. Do you want to come by and give a cow a treat, or give Big Moma a belly rub? That's fine as well. We also encourage you to share this post with your friends and family, and invite them to experience the joy of our farm.

At our farm, you can pet the cows, the goats, our giant tortoises, Big Moma, our 500lb pig, who loves belly rubs. Meet our livestock dogs who protect our animals. Collect your own chicken egg, meet the ducks and the geese. Meet Cookie, our miniature donkey, and Pretty Girl, our beautiful pony. We also have Bob, Christmas, Mayonnaise, Ketchup, and Chocolate - the turkeys. Like lizards, snakes, and tarantulas? We have them too, and so much more. We can't wait to share these unique experiences with you!

We hope everyone has a fantastic day. Thank you again to all of you.

Just Sofia taking her morning walk 😁❤️

Sofia was an "auction" goat that was in milk but already had her kids taken away. This can be a standard practice for milk goats as long as it's done correctly. If the mothers have a billy goat, or a stillborn, or if the mothers reject the babies for whatever reason. Unfortunately, we don't know the reasons for Sofia.

When we got her, she was nothing but bones and a bag of milk... She obviously wasn't being fed or being allowed to graze, and wasn't given the proper minerals or vitamins.

We set Sofia up with her own living space, her own kennel, with free range of the farm, away from the general population of goats. We wanted her to gain her weight back and not have to compete with the younger ones. During the day, she can roam and go back and forth to her "house" as often as she likes.

She is also an ancient goat who shouldn't have been breeding. We don't know the situation, whether it was an accident or intentional, and for what reason (most likely related to milk production).

We also had to make sure she didn't develop any type of complications from having a whole bag of milk. Every day, we milked her twice a day for about two weeks, till her production slowed down. Then, we went to once a day, then every other day, and now she is no longer in milk. We are still working on her conditioning, and she is doing amazing. Soon she will be able to join her friends

Thank you, Dawn Wiesen, for lending us a hand this morning! We really appreciate the help!

Don't mind me, mommy & daddy! I'm just keeping the bugs and lizards off the camera 🤣 🐈😺

We are looking for a few volunteers tomorrow. We need to replace a few fence panels from the pig enclosure and secure them with the new brace board. And Big Moma, Miss Piggy would LOVE some pets and belly rubs.

The panels and the wood are not heavy, but it does require bending over to screw the boards in.

If you would like to lend a hand, please contact us so we can send you the volunteer form.

Thank you!!

We have gotten a few calls in the last few days about ducks being dumped at private ponds. (Brunswick & SSI) I don't want to disclose the exact location, but the one on SSI. We receive calls a few times a year.

Everyone sees the baby ducks at Tractor Supply, Ace, Rural King, and by no means am I telling anyone not to purchase your ducks, but to keep a reminder that these are long-term pets, just like any pet; they will get into things, get very messy, and will need regular care like any other animal.

If you find that your situation has changed and you need to rehome your ducks (or chickens, rabbits, goats, or any other livestock), please give us a call. Please don't dump them into the wild or even private ponds. This harms the ducks and the local ecosystem.

Every situation is different, and we treat everyone with respect, without judgment or embarrassment. We just want what is best for the animals and to help you both in times of need.

We do get swamped at times. We have kids back in school who play sports, Mikey has doctor appointments a few times a week, and we, of course, run the farm. Please give us a call, send us a text message, or send us a Facebook message.

If we have not called you back or responded within 24 hours, please feel free to reach out to us again. Sometimes the messages received don't "notify" us because we were in the gym with no service.

In the event of an emergency, you can call the private numbers listed on our website. Please only use these for emergencies.

Our family farm started as a 30-acre hobby farm for personal enjoyment and self-sustainability. As we grew, our love for our animals and our community grew.
