Lambapalooza '26!

...and baby goats, too

Eighteen lambs were born at Magpie Hollow this spring, and that’s a record!

Here are some photos of lambs born since our last newsletter installment during the big winter storm of January-February.

And as of last weekend we have five new baby goats!

Congrats to all these mamas! Many of them are first-time mamas.

This little doeling was born by C section. So far her and mama are doing well, despite the medical trauma. Another “W” for Dr. Rachael…

Elijah is getting good at catching baby goats - life skills!

We finished shearing the Shetlands and have started sending groups out for rotational grazing. It’s been a really dry April so the grass has a slow start this year.

Where can I buy Magpie Hollow Farm products?

This year we are focusing on lamb and duck eggs. We do still have ground pork available, as well as a few rabbits. And other seasonal produce such as lavender bundles and garden/orchard surpluses, and our famous pet beds stuffed with sheep’s wool.

We sell on-farm by appointment: call or text Josh at 336 902 2543.

You can also catch us at the Downtown Hickory Farmers’ Market every Saturday from 8 AM to 1 PM.

Also - Saunders & Sons Grocery near Statesville carries our lamb and duck eggs.
