Our Goats
The Lacht Town Farm goats are Nigerian Dwarf goats. Nigerians dwarf goats are of West African origin and are raised as dairy goats and companion animals. Our three goats are wethers, or castrated males. Bob, Clover, and Vindaloo were born in the spring of 2020 at Guardians Farm in Southbury. If you are interested in volunteering to care for the goats and becoming a Goat Ambassador, please contact us at volunteer@lachattownfarm.org
Our Bunnies
Lachat has 2 adorable mini lop rabbits. Mini lops are one of the smallest rabbit breeds and weigh no more than 6.5lbs. The boys were born in 2016 but were adopted by the farm in 2019. Their caregivers lovingly named them Humpty and Dumpty because of their silly antics. It is very hard to tell them apart, and we suspect they are twin brothers. If you would like to volunteer time with the bunnies, please contact us at volunteer@lachattownfarm.org
The Beeyard
The Lachat Town Farm Beeyard began in 2017 with 2 hives. In 2021 it expanded to 4 hives and is offering educational opportunities with the bees and about the bees. Honeybees are originally from Europe but are now kept worldwide for all the benefits they offer. Not only do they offer a window into a fascinating society, but they also provide us with honey, propolis, beeswax, pollen, royal jelly, bee venom, and pollination services.
The Beeyard is supported by donations and grants. If you would like to help support the beeyard, consider making a donation or purchasing a set of notecards. All notecard photos were taken at the farm and proceeds will go towards equipment for the bees and educational opportunities. Click here to purchase limited edition notecards.
