My name is Mandi Goad.  My family and I live in the Honey Creek community in Allardt, TN.  

We operate a small farm, where we raise Australian Shepherds and goats.

Our dogs are all registered with either or both AKC and ASCA.  We start working with them from day 1!  Our goal is to raise well adjusted, intelligent puppies, that can compete in your favorite sport, do farm work, or simply be a child's best friend.  Please be patient with us while we make some needed changes to our Aussie program.  This past spring, I had the privilege of seeing an Aussie in his intended element.  He was working cattle and sheep.  It was a spectacular sight to behold.  I came home and started researching.  I knew that they had been bred to drive stock, but I never really looked into it that much.  I discovered that there are really two different Aussies out there: one that is larger and bulky with flowing coats more suited to shows and shall we say 'cleaner' sports; the other has a slighter build and usually a sleeker coat more suited to farming.  I love them all but we have decided to go back to their roots and we are learning how to use them with our goats and training them to work on our farm.  

We raised ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf goats for 10 years.  They are still my favorite breed but, as with everything, there are seasons.  We have decided to sell our registered herd and focus primarily on Mini Nubian dairy goats.  Our herd will remain small but we will have a handful available for purchase each spring beginning in 2025.  

We also make goat's milk soap with the milk from our herd.  Contact us for scents and availablity.
