Welcome to Simple-Earth – where small-scale resilience meets modern innovation.

Our farm, Windhelm, operates as a working homestead focused on sustainable agriculture and heritage livestock preservation. We combine time-tested farming methods with contemporary technology to create efficient, practical solutions for small-scale, old-school survival agriculture.

We focus on breeding and maintaining pure Cape Lob Ear goats, a hardy veldgoat ecotype whose genetic heritage we work to preserve. Our herd also includes Nigerian Dwarf goats, selected for their adaptability and production efficiency. Our tech backgrounds enable us to apply data-driven approaches to traditional farming challenges.

Beyond livestock, we support the homesteading community through knowledge sharing and practical resources. Windhelm serves as both a working farm and an educational hub, offering insights gained from real-world experience.

Simple-Earth connects you with:

• Heritage breed goats from carefully maintained bloodlines (in a small batch, home-brew way)
• Seasonal homestead supplies and farm products (availability varies)
• Camping facilities for farm stays (currently under development)
• Practical guides and documented farming experiences
• Direct access to our methods, wins & failures – through videos and articles.

Our platform provides straightforward information without the fluff. We're building a network of practical farmers and homesteaders who value results over rhetoric.

We're about the goats and the oats,
The wells, the water and what matters,
Growing feed, selling seed, with no shortcuts or cheats.
Farming to survive like it's 1435,
While coding and building like it's 2025.
