About Red Feather Farm
My name is Ruby and I’m a Jesus followin’, farmer’s wife, and mom located in rural North Central OH-IO. I am an RN turned SAHM that works my butt off more now than when I had a job in the rat race. I am endlessly thankful that I can stay home with my kids and my homesteading and food preserving lifestyle has helped to make that happen!
Here on our farm my husband and I raise commercial red angus cattle, registered Alpine dairy goats, commercial Boer goats, and a miscellaneous herd of misfits, including my elderly horse and grouchy donkey. We have a hodge podge of critters that keep us both busy and very, very blessed.
Red Feather Farm Micro-Dairy and Herdshare Program
I run a small micro-dairy with a herdshare program with my Alpine goats and am fighting the uphill battle to prove to folks that goat milk is really amazing and delicious.
It is a dream to add a Brown Swiss one day, but they’re few and far between and hard to find a pure bred. You will not find a Jersey at Red Feather Farm…. we can’t stand them and I find myself constantly wondering why they became the ultimate homestead rite of passage. Goofy things.
I’m so grateful for all the people that support our farm in many ways, because I genuinely love the dairy work. My husband and I even met working together at a local dairy farm and now look at us.
My herdshare program is centered around happy, healthy, and holistically raised goats & cows and food that is grown the healthiest way possible. As providers of milk for both my family and yours, my goats & cows happiness & health are of the utmost importance to me. They are, quite literally, my best friends. I can’t describe the bond you have with your milk herd unless you’ve actually experienced it for yourself!
I’ve worked and studied for many hours to be confident in my holistic protocols and treatments to manage my herd’s health and I’m really proud of where we are right now!

Helping You Homestead Confidently
One of my main goals through this site, along with my social media pages, is to empower people through my sharing to jump into food preservation and food storage more confidently. There are way too many scare tactics and fear mongering today surrounding food preservation (ahem… botulism) and I’m not having it! I am very educated in this area and have done my due diligence, so I’m here to help.
Canning and preserving food isn’t hard OR scary, I promise! I’ve been canning since I was tall enough to help my Mom and she taught me quite a bit of what I know and from there I have taken it and RAN. Thanks, Mom!
I know an obscene amount of information about food preservation in general so consider me your walking encyclopedia of preparedness. When something interests me, I dive in headfirst and don’t come up for air until I know it inside and out.
I genuinely hope you love and enjoy our farm & homesteading as much as we do. Thank you for looking at our website; it means the world to us.
