Our Araby Farm barn in the winter

Welcome to
Araby Farm Saanens!

We are located in a beautiful area of central New Jersey, surrounded by almost 3000 acres of preserved farmland and open space. We purchased our little place in 1976. The name Araby Farm was the name of Nelson's ancestor's home place, located in Northern Virginia. When we acquired our first goats, and needed a herd name, we were honored to adopt the family farm name.

In 1991 we purchased our first two grade does. We loved their personalities, so it didn't take long before we realized that it was not going to be a novelty, but something we wanted to become seriously involved with. In 1996 we purchased our first two purebred Saanens, GayMor Sno-Cal's Jubilant and Windmill Acres Mystic. They have become the two foundation does of our herd. Jubilant has produced many grand champion daughters and granddaughters. Mystic has also produced many grand champion daughters and in 1999 was the number one ADGA Breed Leader in milk and butterfat. She has and is still working hard. Our greatest thrill came at the ADGA National Show in Harrisburg in 2004. Mystic's granddaughters, Reanna, placed 8th in the three-year-old class. Jubilant's progeny respectably as well, with Arista placing 12th in the 2-year-old class, Kiley 12th and Jezabell 20th in the three-year-old class. But the greatest honor of all came when our does were awarded the first place Senior Get of Sire, and second place dam and daughter was bestowed upon Jezabell and Arista. This achievement was the result of many years of selective breeding and very hard work. We are serious about maintaining quality, not quantity.

We have many people to thank for their help and support through the years, but none as much as Joy and Barbara Broaddus. Without their guidance and support, we would not have had these wonderful experiences. We have also been fortunate to acquire several does from the lovely Albanhaus herd. Thank you Joe and Doris.

This has been a year of many ups and downs for us, with some disappointments. We lost the very lovely Promise and beautiful Kiley. But it has also been a year of hope, with lovely new does and doelings that give us promise in 2007. They also came through for us with their outstanding show record, including 3x Best Dairy Herd. 1st place Get of Sire, 1st place Dam & Daughter, 1st place Junior Get, and 1st place Breeders Trio at the New Jersey State Fair. We have two great additions to our herd sires, one a son of Willow Run Scorpion King and one a son of Windsor Manor Dreamboy. Their pedigrees are listed on our Sire page. Again, as always, thanks for visiting with us, and hope to hear from you soon. May 2007 be full of hope and promise for you as well.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our good friend, Heather Tucker and her family, owners of Lit'l Dutch LaManchas, for helping us take all of these wonderful photos for our website. One thing is for certain, we do make some good friends in the business.

We have been on DHIA for as long as we have had goats and have begun to linear appraise. Our herd health management includes TB and Brucellosis testing annually. We raise all of our kids on pasteurized milk and our goats test CAE negative. We have a strict worming and vaccination program. So, are you ready? Come meet the girls.

Terms of Sale: We reserve the right to keep any kid born for replacement. We require a deposit of $75.00 to reserve a kid, with payment in full due 10 days after notice of availability. Deposits are only returned if we are unable to fill your order. The buyer will pay the full cost of shipping, crate, health papers, etc. Kids will be shipped at one month of age. WE would prefer the kids be picked up at the farm, but they may be shipped from Newark Airport.
