Welcome
to
Araby Farm
Saanens!
We are located
in a beautiful area of central New Jersey, surrounded
by 2740 acres of preserved farmland and the open
space of the Duke Estate. 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. 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.
