We're back!
After a 10-year hiatus, we rejoined the farming community. Our story began a while back, with our involvement in the creation of Appleberry Cove Farm in NC, then the founding of Lunashower LaManchas before the herd was dispersed to follow military orders across the globe. Irish Blessing was formally established in 2019 as the fulfillment of a promise to return to the farm after our service days ended. It's been a long and adventurous road, but we've finally come full circle. We can't wait to see how far this journey will take us!
Irish Blessing may be young, but our dairy goat experience runs deep. Raised on a dairy goat farm and employed at two separate, licensed dairies as a goat "midwife" and animal care worker, we developed a desire for productivity and longevity in our foundation animals. This led us to acquire our first animals from the esteemed Lucky*Star herd. Our herd goals focus on breeding structurally sound animals capable of maintaining heavy milk production for many years without negatively impacting their health. Correct conformation is crucial to meeting these demands. Trend breeding is not our approach; instead, we aim for milky animals that produce healthfully for many years and retire at a ripe old age.
