Finishing up another successful kidding season on our micro-farm ❤️ Everyone has officially given birth, and we are so thankful for so many beautiful healthy kids born this year. We are so excited for the wonderful farms they will be joining & the great lives they will live! And can’t help but be very excited for all the kids we’ve chosen to retain for our own breeding program.

We have been selective breeding some of the best Nigerian Dwarf genetics for 6+ years and are so proud of the stunning prodigy that is coming out of our herd now.

French Black Copper Marans Sires Available 🐓

Since establishing our breeding program in 2020, we have dedicated ourselves to producing exceptional French Black Copper Marans, focusing on breeding as closely as possible to the Standard of Perfection (SOP) while maintaining the stunning, deep chocolate-brown egg color this heritage breed is famous for.

Over the years, we have carefully incorporated quality bloodlines from established breeders across Texas, Minnesota, Massachusetts, California, and Alabama. Some of these breeders have over 20 years of experience, with bloodlines tracing back to the original French Marans imported into the United States.

We are proud members of The Marans Club and remain committed to preserving and continually improving this remarkable breed for generations to come.

We currently have beautiful, quality French Black Copper Marans roosters available, representing years of selective breeding and exceptional genetics.

📍 Pick up ONLY here at The Urban Ladybug Farm, located in Copperopolis, CA

Send me a DM for more information and if interested in purchasing your new FBCM sire.

Part 15 - end of September harvest, the dahlias are stealing the show now. 3 giant buckets of dahlias, many varieties blooming for the first time in the garden that week. I had so many favorites I had to share. Others like zinnias, celosia, globe amaranth are all starting to pull back a bit. We also had a bunch of those gorgeous white cosmos bloom for the first time and they have been so whimsy in arrangements, I just wish they had a better vase life and were not so prone to stress. We had our last big harvest of peppers which we bagged up and put out at the stand, along with some of the prettiest arrangements yet.. lastly we were able to get some giant heirloom watermelon out at the stand, and I think they not only intimidated people but also just confused people. 😂 They look like giant cucumbers lol! But they have the sweetest meat and are SEEDED YALL, 🙌 you know we kept quite a few for next years garden. Likely how the Art Combe Ancient watermelon is still around today… just thousands of years of one farmer, saving at least one seed for the next years crop, whether it came or not.. ❤️🍉

The 8th birth of our 2026 kidding season was Kamikaze, and I believe she’s a 2nd or 3rd freshener but it’s the first time she’s freshened on our farm. Kam went into labor fast and furious on August 25th around half past 7 in the evening. One minute she was in pre-labor and the next she’s dropping an assure mucus plug and already starting to push. However, the eager start caused her first kid out - her doeling, to get pushed into the birthing canal before she could get into the correct position. Her head slightly tucked back and down, I needed to reposition her and apply some traction during Kam’s contractions to help deliver the baby and not risk losing her. After the repositioning she pretty much came right out after a couple more pushes and then her buckling was delivered without assistance shortly after. I just have to say that watching myself back to recap this birthing really put into perspective how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come in the 6 years we have been breeding goats. In the beginning, we had many births that did not go as planned and I could not keep my cool during a single one of them. So much chaos during there times and it’s only through experiencing so many births now and having two really great veterinarians who have been so gracious to want to teach and mentor me which has grown my confidence and knowledge far past what I would have been able to do on my own. It’s feels rewarding to witness for yourself your evolution and growth and how you are now the one who reassures those worried in times of chaos. Full circle yall, full circle!

Our self serve farmstand works on the honor system and every single purchase helps support our family farm and allow us to keep offering fresh, local, organically grown food and flowers to our community. To all who visit our stand weekly thank you for your honesty and support. It truly means the world to our family. Every single thing that is farm grown or handmade on our farmstand was either made, grown, or raised right here on our very own Copperoplis micro-farm. And just know when you see a label sitting slightly crooked on a package or if I take a bit longer to get flower arrangements out on the stand, that the tiniest little grateful hands & hearts are helping us every single moment of the day. Thank you for helping us continue to grow and also stay afloat during such an uncertain time in our country & in Agriculture - helping us cover our long list of farm and household expenses that just never seem to quit month after month. The tractor needs new tires one month, something needs repair the next.. the expenses on a farm are nearly triple that of a normal household. Some months it feels like we are finally getting ahead as a farm only to be set back the next, farming is one of the most uncertain but rewarding things to decide to take on in life. There are new farmstands popping up every single week in Calaveras, and we think it’s SO wonderful, thank you for choosing to support all of the local farmers, ranchers, makers, and bakers who bring you fresh, clean, local food and other treats, not only providing something so special in our little rural communities, but also helping bridge the gap in food scarcity. With only one grocery store here in town that has pretty exorbitant prices for run of the mill groceries, our mission is to provide organically grown produce that has only been touched by our Copper sun and soil. No pesticides, no harsh chemicals, just real food grown by people you know by name, that won’t break your bank. Our intimate farm tours are another great way to support our micro-farm and see a deeper look into what life is like here on our farm, ending with a tasting table and sourdough pizzas - more info coming soon!✨

Our Self Serve Farmstand is Open this weekend 9am - 8pm! DM for address.

Part 3 - the final chapter of our virtual garden tours. Welcome to the chaos garden. Where things are a little bit wild and free! We have tomatoes in our squash vines, and pumpkins in our green bean patch. And of course, flowers in all directions. This garden has everything from mammoth to mini sunflowers, to paper daisies, Roma, cherry, and lots of heirloom beef steak tomatoes, artichoke, celosia, amaranth, pumpkins in many different varieties, winter squash that are bigger than my thigh, and other pretty flowers sprinkled in - my favorite being the white cosmos, this video was taken last month but they literally just started blooming this week!

This is where the overflow of plants and seeds end up, and we kind of love it for its wild & stress-free nature. Things are all over the place, so the eye isn’t drawn to the imperfections and the clutter. It’s kinda just actually the opposite. Neatly planted in rows, that have somehow disappeared in the tangle of overgrown but very healthy plants. It’s one crazy ecosystem in there, feeding off our compost we layered within our native soil. While the raised bed garden has started its transition from summer to fall/winter crops, the chaos garden will likely hold us over until late October and into early November. We are starting our fall seeds this weekend and we are excited to order onion starts again and get back into planting more onions than we know what to do with! 😂
