Have You Ever Tried Raw Goat Milk?
If you’re already a fan of raw goat milk, make sure you get signed up to our Goat Milk Waitlist because it fills up fast!
What most people love about raw goat milk is that it is rich in vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for our bodies and skin.
One thing to note is that by Nebraska Law, Raw Milk can only be picked up at the farm (no deliveries). So if you decide to get some milk from us, it almost ALWAYS results in meeting the goats that provided your milk!
If you’ve never tried raw goat milk before, reach out and ask about quart samples to give it a test drive before purchasing a larger amount.
American Blackbelly Sheep
We love these sheep and our farm is a much better place with them here.
The biggest thing we were looking for when we discovered Blackbelly’s is their low maintenance, easy to care for characteristics and the fact that they are extremely social (with each other as well as humans).
These sheep are beautiful, majestic and sweet… plus they are very playful and fun!
They truly do make our work as shepherds an easy, delightful and joyful job.
Dairy Goats
At Penner Mini Farms we have several breeds of goats that we know and love.
- Nigerian Dwarf Goats
- LaMancha Goats
- Miniature LaMancha Goats
While we primarily selected these breeds as Dairy Goats, their characteristics and personalities are what ultimately won us over.

I grew up on a dairy farm when I was little in the dry sandy-soil land of SW Nebraska but my parents moved to Lincoln when I was still at a young age.
I have always dreamed of farming but pursued a degree in Computer Science and have spent most of my life as a computer programmer and database administrator.
I love being outside, in nature, listening to all of the sounds of the birds and insects and animals, feeling the breeze on my face and soaking up the warm sunshine. Outside is where I feel alive and free. I am an introvert so time alone in nature is where I recharge and refresh.
I feel blessed to get to do the 2 things that I absolutely love each and every day of my life: computer programming and farming. God has also blessed me with a beautiful, kind, and loving wife with whom I love spending every day of my life with. My life journey is amazing with her by my side.

I was born and raised in California but moved to Nebraska with my family while I was still in high school to the small town of David City. Talk about a culture shock! The high school I left in California had more people than all of David City!
But I’ve grown to love Nebraska (minus the humidity), and can’t imagine being anywhere else.
I had ZERO experience with farm life until May 2020 when we started Penner Mini Farms so if you want the God’s honest truth about farm life – I’m your girl 😉
Farming and caring for livestock is extremely rewarding, but not many people warn you in advance of how much WORK it is not only to be successful, but also to steward everything you’ve been given well (land, animals, family & time).
None of us have unlimited resources, particularly in the time and attention categories, so we’re learning how to do much with the little that we have and are finding the joy in the little gifts we receive every day!
