We are two; Lydia and Julia, (both she/her). Lydia is the creative, whimsical, brain, of the operation. She was there at the birth of the idea for this business in 2020 after rolling it around in her mind for many years. She brought it out into the world. Living on land with ample pasture and a barn space to rent made the idea possible. Let us thank the fickle and sometimes serendipitous gods of affordable housing and alternative land projects.

Around the wintertime of 2021, as the pandemic continued to barrel along; Julia dipped in to become Lydia’s business partner. She quickly became whipped up in the whirlwind of building the spaceship. Julia hails from the young farmer type of cloth. The first farm she worked on back in 2014 had a few goats, the first she had encountered. There was a particularly rowdy weather named Bryan who could have turned her off goats entirely but her time as an employee at Mystery Bay Farm (a small scale goat dairy on Marrowstone Island) has garnered in her a lasting fondness and familiarity with a variety of goats of all temperaments.

Lydia was a goat enthusiast from the start with her work on Sunfield Farm in 2013, a study of agroforestry and pasture ecology at Evergreen, and a pasture manager position way out in brisk Vermont in 2017. ‘Lil blaster, the goat on our logo was one of Lydia’s first goat loves. Julia and Lydia met when they both worked at Mystery Bay Farm in the season of 2018. When you find another ‘crazy goat lady,’ as we, on semi-rare occasion, are wont to call folks like us, you keep in touch.
