Welcome to Walnetto Farm in the most southern tip of the Cascade Mountain range. Just a stone's toss from Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park and all the treasures these mountains hold. We raise LaMancha dairy goats,laying hens and garden. A homestead realized on "42 Acres of Paradise" off the grid.

I am a native Californian old enough to remember when the Golden State lived up to her name. I live on 3.6 acres with a Border Collie/ Aussie cross Cali, three Great Pyrenees Yarrow the "queen mother" Stormy and Bug full litter brothers who live with my LaMancha dairy goats and keep them from harms way. Toss in a few chickens, a yearly garden well you get the picture. I have two adult children and 4 incredible grand girls. I am also a spinner, weaver, knitter and occasional quilter.

Oh my, are all those rocks yours? We have so few rocks! I know folks think that might be a blessing, but we'd love to have the wall building material.
Forgive me for giggling Leigh! Yes all the rocks (disclaimer waterfall is not ours 😉) and more. Everything from Creek stones up to boulders the size of small cars. The property we live on is in the line of fire from Mt Lassen and when she blew the last large scale time were blessed with them. Our street is called Ash Creek that runs from high country down to the river was formed by hot lava still seen today in a cooled permanent state. A lot of folks in the area sell their rocks to local landscaping companies. Yes they are handy for fence building although not as effective as cattle panels and no climb wire where goats and Pyrenees's are concerned. However they are a bit of a pain when trying to sink T post as you rarely can get a straight even spacing. However they are great decorative pieces around trees and gardens. In the Gold Rush days the Chinese immigrants in the area constructed a number of walls on local ranches of the day. And the cattle ranch my friend lives on uses them as their trademark fencing on all their properties. Would love to ship you some but imagine the FOB!
