Hi, we are Gabriel and Jenny Burkey. Our little farmstead is located near Beaver Crossing, NE, right next to the old Oregon Trail. We have six children, and enjoy learning with them about God’s creation through the animals, garden, and orchard that we maintain on our few acres.

In 2019 we purchased two ADGA Registered Nigerian Dwarf does and a young buckling at the whim of Jenny, who thought milk goats would be much better option than a family milk cow for our small acreage. Thus, we got started on our dairy goat journey, and we were hooked! We have since moved the first two does we bought, along to other homes, as they didn’t have the milk production we were looking for, but we will always have fond memories of sweet little Annabel and her grumpy friend DeeDee.

We added Butterscotch and her little troublemaker sister Mocha to the herd later that summer. We had many comings and goings of goats in the early years, but as of 2024 we settled on improving our Mocha and Butterscotch dam lines as well as adding in a couple other promising does from Wildwood Acres.

As of the end of 2024 we have been on year round milk test for two years now! All the data adding up has been enormously helpful to us in making decisions about who to keep in our herd and how to keep going forward and upward.

We were blessed to be able to have our herd appraised in 2024, which was informative and encouraging. We were complimented on our strong group of dairy yearlings and we take that as a sign that we are heading in the right direction.

Feel free to look around our website!
