Homesteading begins

It all began with an idea. A small idea we want to turn big. Farming has always been in our family, whether it is having vegetable gardens or raising livestock. Our vision when first moving back to the Northeast was to have a farm with goats and chickens and plenty of vegetable gardens to live a sustainable life.

The summer of 2021 was when we began homesteading. The gardens consisted of corn, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, squash, and so much more. We were able to can some things like tomatoes, salsa, dilly beans, and pickled eggs. R.M. Kidds farm started with Nigerian Dwarf Goats and chickens. The Nigerian Dwarf Goats are milkers and provide us with raw goat’s milk. The goat’s milk is used to make our soaps and caramels.

Our goal for the summer of 2022 is to grow fresh produce and sell it at the local farmer’s markets. Along with selling some of our other products online, such as hand-crafted goat’s milk soap, canned goods, and homemade caramels.

We are excited to see what this year has to offer! Follow along with us on our journey of homesteading.
