2024 - Well it has been 8 years since my original post and a lot of things have been accomplished. I still am here woot!

I am looking for volunteers Please message me if you would like to help.

This summer's projects:

Completing goat barn made from pallets
Restoring two travel trailers
Adding more fencing to keep out free range cattle
Day to day farm chores

I am seeking openminded people who are not afraid of hard work, getting dirty, having fun and love nature. I prefer individuals who do not consume alcohol or only on rare occasions. Recreational cannibis is legal here and I do not have any objection to it's use but again moderation is the key.

My place is very rural, 27 miles from the nearest town, 5 miles up a gravel/dirt road and the national forest is within hiking distance. I live completely offgrid but have wifi available and there is cellphone reception. The closest town is Tonasket, WA. There is a community culture center in town and lots of "local" events in the area.

I offer a place to stay in what I consider paradise, good meals and a view to die for.

Thank you,
Laverne

Hard to see in the snow but this year's creations were two new terraces,  one with blueberries and the other with thornless blackberry,  raspberry and aronia berry plants, and the awesome wind generator.  Life up here is on the diagonal so terrace building is what best describes me lol

Property is no longer available thank you all

I sent you a PM Mick.

Thanks Thomas the property  is actually over near Addy and belongs to my friend. He has done amazing work on it but now would like to join me on my little piece of paradise in the Okanogan Highlands.

26 acres of partially fenced in land with pastures, timber, two year round creeks, numerous springs, a small man made lake and two spring fed ponds. On site buildings include a mostly complete 3 bedroom house with attached greenhouse and a 30x50 garage/shop and two partially complete cabins. 100x140ft sub-irrigated garden area. 1000+ strawberry plants, blackberry, raspberry and marionberry bushes. Apple, pear, plum and mulberry trees. Designed for keyline irrigation. Many other features perfect for permaculture farming. Asking $179,000 firm. Possible owner finance.

After several attempts and screaming goat battles I decided to stop trying to get milk.  Her udder is still a little bit enlarged but gradually reducing.  I plan to breed her and the other does the end of September with my nubian buck.  Thank you everyone for helping me figure this all out :)

Some more photos ... I remember that you are supposed to be able to tell from the tell tail signs if a goat is pregnant. Her abdomen does not feel like there is a kid there

After 10 mins of trying to get milk I only got some "moist dribbles" off one teet just enough to wet my fingers.  there was no "let down" so I got no clue.  There is no discharge and ligaments seem to be intact.  I will try to get more photos.

I'll wrestle her up on the milk stand and see what happens ... be back in a bit
