God blessed us with 2 more goat kids this weekend when Lilly, our newest nanny gave birth to two doelings (females) to add to our flock. Eventually, we’re hopeful these new does will bless us with fresh milk and goat kids of their own. Over the past 7-8 years, we’ve been blessed with hundreds of […]
So today we were blessed to have our friend Jimmy bring his lumberjack tools and help us cut a dead oak tree down on our Florida homestead. The tree was struck by lightning during a storm a few years back and it had become quite the widow maker on our property, so the chainsaws had […]
Just this past weekend, we were blessed with two new goats on Glorious Acres named Billy, for the buck, and Lilly for the doe. The best part is, Lilly is already bred and she’s due to give us at least one kid before the winter, not that it matters in Florida… :P Did you know […]
Once a day, every single day for the past 5 months, we have been milking our beautiful Holstein cow named Valerie. Earlier this year, she had the cutest little calf but she wasn’t a very good mom and didn’t keep him clean so he got fly strike and was not doing well. He quit nursing […]
By the grace of God, one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the East coast of the US is following a path that’s driving hurricane Dorian away from our Florida homestead. We’ve been bracing for close to a week, waiting for Dorian to give people some kind of indication as to where it […]
At Glorious Acres, we try and feed our family the best food we can. Elizabeth and I have taken the time to educate ourselves and our daughters through thorough research on gardening, farming as well as holistic healing. One look at our family tells quite a lot about the way we eat and of course, […]
Today was our first time setting up at the Farmers Market downtown historic Brooksville, FL. Although we got rained out, and received a refund for our space rental, I have to say the girls, Elizabeth and I feel pretty good about the success we experienced during the 3 hours we were there. One thing we […]

The Lord blessed us with our first calf last week, but the blessing came somewhat disguised. Let me digress… Our Holstein-Angus cow gave birth to her first calf last Wednesday, and being the rebel she is, she didn’t do a good job cleaning him up resulting in a massive Fly Strike attack that quickly spread […]
Earlier today, Elizabeth, the girls and I said goodbye to one of our goat nannies named Ester. She was given to us by a local herbalist who was having trouble keeping her goats on her property as they kept ravaging her neighbors’ gardens which led to a police citation. When we first met Ester (then […]
