And He hath brought us unto this place and hath given
us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. Deut. 26:9
...now arise, go over this Jordan...unto the land...
Joshua 1:2
Welcome to Crossing Jordan Farm. We are a small,
family farm located on 22 acres in Columbia, Tennessee. Our farm is home to a variety of animals. We are,
currently, raising registered Nubian, dairy goats. We have a Great Pyrenees, Delilah, who watches
over our does. We have two standard donkeys, Bonnie and Gus, that live in the pasture with our bucks. In addition
to this, we have three horses, a miniature donkey, three kittens, a Chocolate Lab, a variety of chickens,
guineas, geese, and Muscovy ducks. A couple of years ago, we purchased a Jersey heifer and since that time, added
two more Jersey cows and a Jersey Bull to our menagerie. We also have seven bee hives. We truly
are a land flowing with milk and honey!
We have been raising horses and chickens for many years. Six years
ago, we became interested in goat's milk for health purposes. We purchased three does and discovered, not only the health
benefits of their milk, but, also the pleasure of their company. They have wonderful personalities and each one is different.
They are very entertaining and very affectionate.
All of our goats are registered through American Dairy Goat Association.
We vaccinate yearly and have a regular worming schedule. Our goats are fed a mixed feed containing, oats, corn, barley, sunflower
seed, and alfalfa pellets. They receive a good quality hay and 22 acres to browse on. Along with their
feed and hay, they also receive free choice Golden Blend minerals and baking soda. We strive to maintain a healthy herd.
We're always happy to share our knowledge of goats with those just getting started. We don't know
everything and we're still learning, but, we enjoy sharing what we do know. We are very grateful to those who were patient
with us and all of our many questions. Don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance.
All three of our Jersey cows have calved this past spring. Dolly lost her little bull calf at birth.
She accepted two Holstein bull calves the next day and she is, now, raising them. Jessie and Rosie, both, had beautiful heifer
calves. Mama's and babies are, all, doing well.
