about us

The Pasture is a family farm owned and operated by husband-wife team Wayne and Becca Baumbach. Since purchasing their farmstead in 2018, the Baumbachs have been transforming the property through cleanup, soil building, and habitat restoration, bringing the land back to life with native grasses, wildflowers, fruit trees, wildlife habitat, and the rotational grazing of livestock.
​
At The Pasture, we raise myotonic (fainting) goats, turkeys, and chickens, along with a pair of adventurous preschoolers and two loyal dogs.

We are Myotonic Goat Registry breeders of purebred myotonic (fainting) goats, a unique breed known for their gentle demeanor and playful personalities. Our goat kids have found homes across North Dakota and Minnesota as beloved farm pets, 4-H projects, and breeding stock.
​
Each year we offer a limited number of pasture-raised turkeys and chickens to local customers through pre-order.

In addition to farm-raised foods, we enjoy crafting a variety of small-batch goods, including pure vanilla extract and vanilla paste, cocktail infusion kits, beeswax lip balm, and other seasonal creations inspired by life on the farm.

The Pasture is also home to our wildflower meadows, beehives, and honey processing operation, all cared for right here on our property. Through environmentally friendly practices and rotational grazing, we work to build healthy soil, support pollinators, and foster plant and wildlife diversity across our farm.

We believe that healthy land, good food, and strong communities grow together, and we’re grateful to share a small piece of that with the people who support our farm.

Certified Wildlife Habitat

The Pasture has been recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat® by the National Wildlife Federation. 

​To earn this certification, we demonstrated that our farm provides essential elements for wildlife: food, water, cover, and a safe place to raise their young. Our native wildflower meadows, pollinator-friendly plants, sustainable practices, and overall habitat stewardship helped us meet these standards. 

​At The Pasture, we believe farming and conservation go hand in hand. This certification is one more step toward our mission to create a thriving, biodiverse environment for animals and people alike.
