Split Rail Farms is located in Northern California. We have our farm just north of San Francisco, in Sonoma county. We started in Marin, and moved to Penngrove last year. We raise Nigerian Dwarf and Nubian goats for milk, heritage breeds of chickens for eggs, Sheep for Meat and wool, and Rabbits for meat. Our entire goat heard is CAE negative, and were tested November 2008.
Our chickens are chosen to lay a variety of egg colors and sizes. We sell 5 month old laying hens of many different breeds. We are working towards having a fully operational CSA, where we deliver produce, dairy, and meats someday. To see what farm products we have available now take a look at our For Sale page.
Our family has diverse interests and everyone finds something they enjoy here. My husband Ben is a chef at Drakes Beach Cafe, and works on goat cheese recipes with are farm mate Ryan. My dad, Robert, enjoys working on farm building projects. My mom, Maria is the goat whisperer and amazing midwife. My brother is the documenter/ journalist and post hole digger. I am known as the GoatGal.
