Great grandpa's homestead, circa 1910
Welcome
to Hideaway Homestead!
Hideaway Homestead is our new Arizona
homestead, or goat farm, that we moved to in late January, 2004. We brought
all our belongings and all the critters in two trips from Oregon. Our
61 acres are located in the middle of the Aquarius Mountains about 40 mile
southeast of Kingman. The land around us is still a working cattle
ranch, and one still sees the cattle grazing on the hillsides.
We are 8 miles from the pavement, and just
as far from the nearest electricity and telephone. We are independent
of the grid, electricity being provided by the wind turbine Roger built, a
few solar panels, and a small generator also built by Roger, that charges the
storage batteries. Our phone is cellular, and the tv, radio, and
internet come to us via satellite.
Roger built our home, and has done lots of
fencing. We discovered a spring on our property that provides us
water. There remains work to be done on the house, more fencing to be done,
gardens to be planted, and innumerable other projects, but it is home now,
and we are happy to be where we are. You can seem more photos of the
property and projects on the "happenings" page.
Roger likes to learn about building
websites and practical applications of alternative energy. He is
interested in wind and solar power. He is also the master mechanic,
fence builder, and inventor around here. It takes a man of many
talents to keep things running smoothly around this place and he fits the
bill.
JoAnne is the artist. Painting
gourds in a southwestern style, and working with fiber. This whole
fiber
adventure
all started when she got a spinning wheel for Christmas a few years ago. In
spite of the goats taking over our lives, she still manages to produce many
fine gourd art pieces available at a few select southwestern galleries. She
is also knee deep in her new project of dyeing beautiful
doll hair from the fiber, courtesy of the
goats. JoAnne keeps a journal called homestead
happenings, where you can find out about the more recent events in our
lives.

Of course, let's not forget
about the goats! We raise both white and colored angora goats, and are
members of the Colored Angora Goat Breeder Association. We strive to produce
goats with fine textured fleeces, curl and of course, lots of color.
Angora goats produce the fiber
called mohair, and are sheared twice a year, when the fleece is about 6 inches
long. Sometimes we allow those special fleeces to grow a bit longer to be
used for doll hair. We are able to allow the fleece to grow longer
because of the dry climate in this area, and without compromising the health of
the animal or the fleece..
We have fiber available for
the spinner from first clip kid, the absolute finest, to fiber suitable for rug
making. We also provide a fine selection of quality dyed mohair locks for
the discriminating doll maker or reborner. Just click on the fiber link to
see some of our available fleeces and hair.
The big white guy is Benny.
This Great Pyrenees was trained as a Livestock Guardian Dog. Truth to
tell, these dogs aren't so much trained, as they have the natural instinct for
protecting livestock, and so come by their abilities naturally. He is
good at his job, protecting the goats day and night, in the barn area at night
and out on the range (and lying around the house) in the daytime. We were
lucky to get him in Oregon from fellow angora goat breeders after we had trouble
with mountain lions. He likes people and he likes his goats.
The first
spring we had Benny, the first doe gave birth out in the pasture without us knowing it.
By the time we found the kid,
Benny had the new kid all cleaned off; taking over to the point that the mother
almost didn't accept it. Now we watch for Benny in the spring during kidding
season. He is often our first indication that a birth is about to occur.
One will see him lying quietly by the doe in labor, far enough away to give her
privacy, but close enough to protect her.
Zora, Benny's first goat birthing
subject
We take pleasure in our little
homestead. It is not the life for everyone, but it is the life for us.
One thing we have found out is, that it is not the destination that is
important, but the journey. We take pleasure in the little things.
The sunrises, and sunsets, thunderstorms rolling in over Snow Mountain, the
sight of new kids cavorting in the paddock, the first ripe tomato from the
garden.........
So sit back, relax, and
spend some time with us. Hope you enjoy your visit.
