Laffing Goat Farm and Wetland Preserve

Laffing Goat Farm and Wetland Preserve WE DON'T KILL OR SELL ANIMALS!! Our animals are strictly spoiled PETS. Our page is to share the fun at the Farm. We are a HOBBY farm. We do sell EGGS to eat.

We don't offer any "services", our goats are all NEUTERED males. Our email is [email protected] Sweet little hobby farm outside of city limits with 5 (4 men and a little lady) goats, 34 chickens (more or less), 17 ducks, 3 African geese and a bunch of cats. Numbers vary, especially with the ducks and chickens -- as ducklings and chicks are always being hatched through spring and summer. George i

s a city boy, but this was always my dream, to have a little farm with animals and subsistence gardening, do my own canning and preserving. Both of our parents would be amazed at what we have done. When I have extra I share with my community, and we sell eggs at the front door -- these critters eat a lot! Half our property is protected wetland, which we have and are restoring as it was badly abused before, and the adjoining wetland west of us was “developed” by a local car dealership, so we are doing our best to protect what we can of this beautiful space. It’s work, but it feels good, and the animals are restful to watch when we aren’t doubled over laughing with them.

OMG it came out perfect! I have been buying Smuckers pineapple topping (aka preserves) for years but it has been progressively harder to find, and this week I was gifted about 3 quarts of fresh pineapple chunks. Been wanting to do this a long time, I make all kinds of jellies and preserves every year. So last night I bit the bullet and made 8 half-pint jars of pineapple preserves and three mixed berry ones from the same source. 6 fit into the canner w the 3 berry ones and 2 went straight to the fridge cos I'll eat them never fear. ONE didn't seal so that one went to the fridge as well and I just tried it -- soooo GOOD! I use it on ice cream or in my yogurt (I prefer my own fruit to the ones that come mixed in) and Smuckers just lost a longtime customer (through no fault of theirs). If I make another batch I'll put it out for sale. 3 for $10 to the RIGHT of the egg fridge or on the white fridge to the right (just covers cost of the lids and sugar and pectin). The jams on the left are free ones or you can find those in the little free Pantry at the end of the drive while they last. I think there is only plum ones left there atm.

Newly added today: Sharing Pantry, will have shelf stable foods and some hygiene items. Community is invited to share what they can (no breads or perishables or produce). Located at end of dead end street across from Bridges Pets.
Long range plan if there is enough interest would be to expand the size of the little cart, and add a QR code for donation wishlist of needed or requested items from Amazon, especially single use or individual size hygiene supplies.

This is that "feral unsocialized" cat the same day the EAS told us she was too wild to ever be socialized or handled!!

My Lucy with her first and only litter of babies (she was a baby herself!) shortly after a volunteer at Community Cat Coalition rescued her in 2015. The next photo is her shortly after her spay, w her shaved tummy while she was still in CCC foster. Then Jan 22, 2016 after she got out maybe a month after we got her, and we were trying to catch her we got this glimpse of her on one of our game cams next to the trap we tried to use to recover her. Last is her on my bed snuggling with Monkee, her new bestie (besides me of course) -- 3 years later after the neighbor who was keeping her finally got bored and turned her in to the Everett kill shelter in Novenber 2018.

Our Lucy got out in January 2016. We put up fliers and posters everywhere including several on our short block and set out traps. We felt she was nearby even caught a glimpse of her a couple weeks later on game cam, then once or twice at the end of our driveway then nothing. THEN 2 days before Thanksgiving in 2018 after 3 years missing we got a call from the Everett animal shelter saying they had Lucy. We had assumed she was dead. Anyone finding her would surely have checked her microchip, as this shelter did. Someone ON OUR OWN STREET had kept her all this time, never vetted her, and when they got tired of her they turned her in the next town over. The address they gave when they surrendered her was on our own street. The WORST part was the shelter advised she would likely be euthanized as she was totally wild and feral and unsocialized! I paid the fees and brought her home anyway, put her briefly in the acclimation cage we used for fosters while we evaluated and socialized them. This is me putting my hand in the cage fully expecting to be attacked, as I had no idea what these monsters had done to her for 3 years. What I got was kitty version of "mommymommy I missed you where were you?!! Lovemelovemeloveme!! " Lucy has slept on my bed in my armpit evey night since then. She is my baby!!

The ducks like these dog houses as well to lay their eggs in, but as seen on the other video they like the rabbit hutch best. Always clean, no hunting for nests. They come in every evening to their safe enclosure and lay eggs all night.

05/26/2026

I didn't collect eggs yesterday due to a migraine, and this morning they surprised me. I need another rabbit hutch like this one. They seem to love it. These are DUCK eggs: my gals march right into their safe enclosure every sunset and lay their eggs in these clean dog houses and this raised rabbit hutch.

It doesn't look like much atm, but the little greenhouse is back together (we had to partially dismantle it when we replaced our mini-split heat/cool system a few months back) and I'll be starting seeds this weekend. I'll be gifting the extras that I don't have room for once they are big enough to transplant.

The new book box is up and filled, end of the driveway. I love to see what books others bring to share w the community.

THIS POST IS UPDATED by 2pm DAILY
This post is usually updated EVERY DAY regardless of the original post date. I don't have the time or ambition to re-type all of this every day. 🙂

EGGS are at the HOUSE on my PORCH, not in the driveway!
Please do not go into my quonset structure on the driveway. There is nothing in there for you.

TODAY I have
CHICKEN eggs: 4 dozen in lower fridge $5
DUCK eggs: 4 dozen in upper fridge $5

ALL eggs are labeled with "best by" date in lower right corner of box. They are good much longer, this is just a suggestion. As they approach that date I pull them from stock and boil them for myself or bake cookies with them.

Jellies are on the porch: the ones to the LEFT of the front door are still free (short dated from canning Dec 2024 and a few 2025) made from fresh fruit, very little sugar, pectin and a bit of lemon juice or citric acid for acidity needed for safety. Properly canned per USDA guidelines and shelf stable at least 24 months, or longer as long as the seals are not broken.
(2024 date means canned Dec 2024) so all good till at least Dec 2026. The 2025 ones are good till Christmas 2027!

I'll start canning 2026 batches between October and December (I flash freeze then can things like berries for best flavor)
I use them year round for topping ice cream and yogurt
*The ones on top of the white fridge are for sale 3 for $10 as always. I have more I will put out as soon as the short dated ones are gone, so they don't get mixed up.

YOU CAN ALWAYS RING THE DOORBELL if you need change. someone is usually here. We usually pop out to say Hi!
>> don't knock, no one will hear it.
Eggs are always self-serve. Both refrigeraters are set at 48F as required bt FDA guidelines. These MUST STAY REFERIGERATED since they already have been, do not put them on your counter. All cartons are dated with best by date but they are generally still good a few weeks beyond that as long as they STAY REFERGERATED and points down.
====================
EMAIL me directly ([email protected]) if you need to know where we are located to get eggs. This is our HOME where we live so we don't post our address on social media. MESSENGER is TURNED OFF permanently due to the childish AI inserting itself into every discussion uninvited. I do not own a cell phone but I try to check emails once a day.
====================

If you need service, Just ring the bell (DO NOT KNOCK I would never ever hear it).
DO DRIVE up the driveway ALL the way to the house and do not park on the street. Plenty of room to turn around up here.
I do not own a cell phone (it is a lifestyle choice) so you cannot text me or message in real time. Multiple driveway alarms and several dozen cameras let us know you are here on foot or in vehicle. Emails get seen when I come in the house and open the computer only, and that could be as late as next day.
If I am truly not around (out back or went out to get hay and seed), you can leave $ under the mat. I'll find it. I likely heard you and/or saw you on camera and was just busy. If you need change and I'm not around, grab a jar of homemade jam, on your right. I am usually here.

FYI Our duck eggs are green or gray or white, or green "smudged" with gray coating, depending on the breed of duck that laid them. (see first photo). They are not dirty. Do not ever wash or float eggs as that only contaminates them. See the other pinned posts on this page for USDA info on egg safety. It is not that *I* say so, it is science that says so
