Dragonfly Days

Life on Dragonfly Farm is hectic at the moment (to say the least). So much is happening and we have much to celebrate – awards, births and the promise of Spring!

We are thrilled to have received the “Women Farmer of the Year” award for Top Producer for the National Market from the Department of Agriculture last week. We’re flying up to Bloemfontein on the 29th of August for the Finals and are hoping we’ll make the Western Cape proud and win the main award.

Watch this space – we’re planning to kick some butt ;-)

Although our hard work is rewarded on a daily basis when we see our happy goats and our customers compliment us on how fabulous our cheese is – it’s really nice to receive an “official” affirmation like this.

There are also a bevy of births to celebrate EACH day. As this is being written we’ve had 8 mommy goats giving birth to 15 babies just today and Jaqui is out there expecting more!

We’ve posted some pics of these new additions on our website – click here to see them (spot the Twins!).

Then of course there is the promise of Spring – the sun is rising earlier, the bleating of the new kids on the block and the smell of fresh Fynbos – all much needed inspirations after the winter.

It ain't easy being farm gals sometimes, long days and hard work - but we’re all good, as they say.
