Blessed Creatures Farm

10/30/2026

Happy Friday everyone! It’s time for our yearly request for pumpkins!

If you have whole, uncarved pumpkins that aren’t rotting, with no marker or other coloring on them and you’d like to have a place to take them instead of just tossing them, our animals here in the farm would love them! They are very nutritious for all the animals and they’re a special treat.

We’re located at the corner of Crockett and Fike, the big red brick house…the driveway’s on Fike. Feel free to just drop them off next to the green market building by the driveway.

8972 Crockett Hwy, blissfield, MI

Thank you so much and Happy Halloween!!! 🎃🎃

Hey folks, we’re still looking for new pastures for about 12 Muscovy ducks that were born this year - some from this spring, 6 from this past August - many pied, but also black/green and green and white; I think 4 bucks? Beautiful, healthy babies for people’s consideration! Take a look…located in Blissfield, just outside of Adrian.

Independent and quiet, they’re great for pets and/or meat! What I love about them? Great layers for eggs as well, get several that sit and several that lay (and a guy who helps you be self-sustaining!), and they have the most interesting personalities (and faces)! 🌻🌻🌻

Give me a shout!

Here we are, Thursday night, before Daylight saving ends, and the guy who’s had a hold on our last 3 girls has FINALLY released them back to consideration for other farms! And it ooks like our “summer weather” is going to co to us during the day for at least another week. It’s crazy that we’re ending October without a real frost, never mind snow!

Which means we have just a short time left before the cold sets in…a few of our wonderful girls are still waiting to find their homes.

Two purebred full-sized Nubian spring doelings, plus one of our gorgeous Togg/nubian mixes, are still available for a brief time!

Nubians and Toggenburgs are great goats for many things, and especially for dairy animals with some of the highest butterfat content, great for cheesemaking, yogurt and of course, drinking! These girls are spring/summer babies and will be ready for kidding in the spring and early summer if their owners are looking for terrific girls for their herds! We of course prefer the girls go together, so preference and pricing will reflect that; note that these are not “bargain basement ladies!

First, the twins, Chamomile (darker brown and white) and Jasmine (black and white) who were born to our gorgeous Sugar May 9, 2026. Sugar is a first freshener and placed second in the Indiana county fair shows last year, and is producing about half a gallon with both girls still suckling regularly (even though they are ready to stop). They are a little shy but they’ve been regularly handled and will be terrific girls for any farm! We’ve done the first trim on their hooves and they stand well for that, so train well.

They both have at least 1 moonspot/dappling and are purebred; mamma is registered, daddy is not. He also did well at the shows before he came to us at 6 months. His mamma had a terrific udder and high production as well.

We also have our sweet Togg/Nubian mix Lady Godiva, who’s the 1 year old forming of our fabulous produced, Coco Chanel (they’re so bought!). She represents daddy’s bone structure well, while adding her mamma’s dongles and udder! We’re looking forward to seeing what she can do…if she doesn’t go to a new home, she’ll stay for our program, but she’s such a promising doe! She was born May 2025.

I’ve added their pictures in order of the text of this post. We’ve love these girls well and will be sad to see them go…they’ll make a terrific first herd for someone who’s looking to have high producers and great genes!

Disease free, closed herd, high diary producers, happy, healthy goats make healthy dairy! . 🌻🌻🌻

Are you interested in meeting these ladies? We're located in Blissfield, just outside of Adrian, and allow visitation by appointment only. Please PM for details, directions, and any questions

*** NOTE: All of our herd have horns unless they came with them; we don't disbud and have never had any problems with aggression or using horns against each other or humans. They do require fencing that has smaller openings because they can get stuck in (for instance) cattle panels. ***

This is what “living like you’re leaving the gate open” actually looks like…leaving…the actual gate…OPEN.

Sometimes, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. 😉😘

Today’s our first day without the girls and milking Marabelle and we’re all still in the “we have to go full throttle because we’ve got to get to milking…oh wait…uhh…I have 3 hours that I don’t have to do dishes and sanitize the milker (twice) and muck and…and…” It’ll take a while to get used to our “new norm”, but I gotta tell you, I think we’re all just going to take some slow, deep breaths and slow down just a bit.

Meanwhile, the girls are at their new place and this morning, they’re at the gate (as they always were here) and probably like, “what is this wonderland???” And “where’s my breakfast???? WAITER!!! Are you my new waiter??? WHERE’S MY BREAKFAST???”

Their new parents have sent us a few pics of them meeting their new friends and checking things out. They’re going to be sooooo happy (if they aren’t already over the stress of moooooving and changes)!

The last pic is them this morning…look at Marabelle’s expression. 🤣🤣🤣

It’s a beautiful, sunny but chilly fall morning here, and we’ve got a loooong list of chores and activities to check off methodically this week as we move from full time dairy ops to goats only dairy ops and fall prep for winter.

Once we settle into this new normal, cheese workshops and other activities will start up again…we’re cognizant that we’re going into the holidays, so we’ll be offering classes carefully around those, and also be offering gift certificates for future classes that you can give as gifts! More to follow on these!

Have a blessed Sunday everyone! And thanks for all the messages of support and kindness this past few days…really appreciate you reaching out! 🥰🥹

I’m sure you all have figured this out already because I’m pretty predictable: auctioned or swap meet = new babies:

Please welcome Frodo (grey and white), Shadow and Nightshade, our newest barn kittens! We sold a whole group of our rabbits and came back with kittens…seems fair considering our also selling our cows! They’re adorable, and happy to sleep in their food bowl(s) and hang with the chickens and buns for a while.

Let’s face it, I needed a cuddle (or three!) after selling the buns and my cowies.

It’s been a rough day, but everyone’s going to be in a better place after some really hard decisions. And cuddles. Who doesn’t love cuddles?!?!

Today, we said goodbye first to a group of our beautiful New Zealand bunnies at the last FFH farm swap, and then I went home to meet Pippin and Marabelle’s new mamma and pop, Justin and Amber, and showed them around the farm.

I was SO hard to say goodbye (or at least see ya later) to Pip and Marabelle, but Amber and Justin are SO NICE and have pretty much the same “happy animals happy life” way of doing things, so it made my heart hurt a little less letting them go.

Justin and Amber live only 1.25 hours away, and they have a larger farm (by my standards 50 acres is larger but they call it “small” lol) with cows, sheep, pigs, goats…they’ll be so happy! And have more room to run. I knew they’d be ok when Pippin gave Amber several sloppy kisses right away. They’re really nice people and I trust the animals’ opinions!

I’m thrilled for the girls, and sad our cow chapter has ended, but in a few days, when we have SO much more time to catch up on things, and we’re not running the dishwasher for 6 hours a day, we’ll breathe a sigh of relief and be able to really mourn our family members who’ve moved on.

These girls were not just the largest animals on the farm, but to of the most stellar - and a little nutty! - personalities so there will be a lot of air to breathe, so to speak.

Love you girls…see you soon! Can’t wait to see your new pastures and friends! 🌻🌻🌻

(I tried to get Pippin to give me a nice smile like Marabelle did in our picture, but you can see how well that went lol.)

We’re thankful for everyone who supported us while we had the girls, and we still have goat milk and other fabulous products available! 🌻🌻🌻🌻
