the farm
Real land. Real goats. Real people.
No stock photos. No staged shots. This is the 16-acre Snohomish farm where your goat will actually live for a year, and where your family is welcome to visit.
our story
This farm didn't begin as a business plan.
It began during a hard season of Usama's life. Too many late nights, too much time wondering what direction things were going, and a need for something real. Something grounding, honest, and outside the routine he had fallen into.
A friend pushed him toward goats before he felt ready. That friend was Jalal, who grew up in Pakistan, where Eid al-Adha meant going to choose the animal, caring for it, knowing it. After moving to the United States, Eid started to feel like a transaction: send money somewhere, get a confirmation back. The sacrifice was still made. The meaning had gone missing.
So they took a first, imperfect step. Fencing, feeding, caring, learning, failing, trying again. The work pulled Usama out of autopilot and back into something older and steadier: land, animals, responsibility, faith. Over time the farm became more than a project. It became a place of discipline, healing, and purpose.
“Sometimes the thing you did not want to do is exactly the thing Allah uses to bring you back to life.”
They raised goats for their own families' Qurbani first, then for close friends. Then came the realization that so many families are on the same boat, missing the Eid they grew up with. That is the farm on this page: honest work, healthy animals, humility, and faith. Still growing, still learning.
How your goat lives
Your goat spends its entire life, from the day after one Eid al-Adha to the next, on open Snohomish pasture. Two people do the daily work: twice-daily feeding, health monitoring, and the weekly photos and videos you'll come to look forward to every Friday.
We're a small farm, and we'll tell you honestly when we're still learning. What we won't do is cut corners on how the animals are raised.
Our welfare standards

- No hormones or growth promoters, ever

building in public
We're building this in the open.
A new farm asking for your trust should show its work. Here is exactly where we are: what's finished, what's still in motion, and what happens between now and Eid. This list stays honest: things move to "done" when they're done, not before.

Qurbani for our own families first
Before this was a venture, we raised goats for our own Eid and for close friends. We learned fencing, feeding, and herd health the hard way.
