Legend Dairy Goat Barn Container
Support Adali's dream of a new home for her goats and their kids and get cool stuff!
UPDATE: The project has been fully funded - you all rock!
Welcome, friends! This is the official place to support Adali's Legend Dairy Goat Barn Container Project. Below is a quick recap and explanation of the options.
The Idea
First it's important to remember that this is our oldest daughter's plan - we have 3 pregnant goats due at the end of February, and the goal with this new building is to:
- Provide safer shelter for goats
- Kidding stalls for birthing and weaning
- Sanitary insulated milking room
- Dedicated feed storage
- New field fencing for protection and rotational grazing
The Plan
We'll be purchasing a used shipping container and modifying it in the following ways:
- Adding a dedicated feed storage area connected to cargo doors
- Creating a hallway with 3 kidding stalls
- Cutting multiple doors and windows for access
- Building insulated and separate milking room
- Installing new field fencing
- NEW - Framing & Spray Foam Insulation
- NEW - 10' Awning Shade
- NEW - Rainwater Catchment
- NEW - 3kw Solar Power System + Mini Split

Support Options
We love the idea of allowing those of you that are interested to help support this dream of Adali’s, but like we said - we didn’t want to teach her to just ask for handouts. The goal is to show her how to create value that gives back to you if you want to be a part of this.
So we’ve spent a bunch of time with her putting together 4 support tiers with varying levels of rewards and goodies. Here’s how it’ll work.
Tier 1 is $25 and will included access to a special video after the baby goats are born. Also we’re going to have a large nameplate inside the barn that every supporter will get their name on. NEW - additional videos and a downloadable coloring page.
Tier 2 is $50, includes the video and nameplate, but you get some goodies in the mail: This fun custom sticker of Bailey, our Mini Nubian Goat and a mini instant polaroid photo of a baby goat with their name and date of birth. NEW - block printed coloring card and a temporary tattoo.
Tier 3 is $100, includes everything in the previous tiers as well as a 5 pack of mini stickers of each of our current goats, and this hilarious enamel pin. NEW - embroidered patch.
Finally Tier 4 is $250, it includes everything in the previous tiers and adds a special edition t-shirt, and the chance to vote on new baby goat names. NEW - Foil sticker and block printed notebook.
Adali has created all the art for this project, and has worked closely with us to understand how much it actually costs to produce and ship these items. She’ll be hand writing thank you cards and packing everyone’s items herself so she’s got a lot of work cut out for her.
