Moon Station Goats and The Tucker Farm Soap Co
I always know when Spring arrives in Georgia. This farm girl gets a sunburn and first case of Poison Ivy. Although I grew up in the North, I love the warmth of the South. The daffodils begin to bloom in late winter and the days quickly get longer. As the weather warms, we eagerly put…
Today was the big day! Ollie broke out of quarantine and met the pack! Do you think it went well?
We’ve been fostering animals for over a decade. First, we were just excited about playing with cute kittens before sending them to their forever homes, but then fostering became so much more to us. We saw the overwhelming need for foster homes and never looked back. It began with kittens and expanded to other animals…
The puppies are 4 months now and entering that awkward teenage stage that large breed dogs go through. They are on the go most of the day and take a few naps to recharge their batteries. I have experience with so many dog temperaments – both fosters and family dogs. I’ve had dogs that were…
I get it. From the outside our farm may look like a petting zoo. I post pictures of goat kids, puppies, kittens, bunnies… If it’s cute and furry, we probably have it. But it’s not all butterflies and kittens here. A year ago today I was out farm hunting and stumbled across this place. It…

I wanted to give her some time to adjust, and to be a dog. Yes, “be a dog,” a notion that is somewhat foreign…
I have over a decade of experience naming foster animals, and then after deciding on two human names, I felt tapped out. After deciding on names with my husband for our daughters, I’m very glad we didn’t always have to agree on foster animal names! A dog’s name is important and often the first thing they learn. It…
As most of you know I recently had a baby. I was instantly connected to Jane even though I had never met her. Just like my first daughter, I simply love her unconditionally. We celebrate life on the farm often. We’ve had puppies, kittens, bunnies, and most recently, goat kids born! But motherhood is…
If you had your money on Ruth going into labor before me, you are a winner! Ruth gave birth to twins on Saturday, June 13th, a doeling & buckling. This was our first kidding at The Tucker Farm! I have been reading about goat labor non-stop and getting advice from fellow goat owners for weeks now,…
Our next human family member is due in a few months so we had to dive right into getting the farm ready. The only way I can manage a farm and family is by having a streamlined routine everyday. This means proper fencing, safe housing, and an efficient barn/feeding routine. We had none of these…
