Life can be hard, and the days may seem long. But my mission is to provide high quality skin care products that inspire you to feel confident and bring a spark of joy to your everyday life.
Before moving to North Carolina, I lived in a cute little neighborhood. You know the kind where all of the houses sit in a perfect row, just different variations of the same floor plan. That was my little house. I loved that little house. I was a single mom raising my young daughter, yet at the same time was going back to school to further my education and career.
Then, as life happens, I met my wonderful husband and, as a new family, we moved to North Carolina. His dream was to own a lot of land (like hundreds of acres would have pleased him) and raise farm animals. I was a little skeptical, as I had never lived outside of a neighborhood, but I was ready and willing to go along for the ride.
Over the past decade+, since settling onto our 13 acres, we have raised chickens, turkeys, pigs, quail, ducks, Guinnea fowl, Giant Flemish rabbits, and even a few cattle along the way. But the one animal that we fell most in love with was our goats.
I never imagined myself as a "farmer", especially not a goat farmer, lol! But as fate would have it, I fell in love. My curiosity about goats soon turned into a passion. It all started with a sweet little 4 day old boy goat that my husband brought home in the spring of 2015. His name was Buttercup (yes, I love The Princess Bride!). Bottle feeding that baby goat was such a joy!
In 2016, after losing our baby girl, Amillia Alice, to a rare genetic condition, I turned my focus to the farm even more. Even though I was experiencing overwhelming grief, I turned toward loving and caring for our goats with more passion. I looked for the beauty in the world around me. It was then that we would name our farm... Amillia Acres.
