TWIN OAKS FARM

About Us

Who We Are

​

Twin Oaks Farm, LLC is a family-run farm that raises Great Pyrenees puppies and livestock guardian dogs, Miniature Long-Haired Dachshunds, Kinder goats, miniature Pot-Bellied pigs, Cuckoo Maran chickens, Muscovy ducks, Peking ducks, heritage breeds of Turkeys, Sebastopol geese, and Guinea fowl. Out of necessity, we have developed and now produce Skin Care Products for both people and animals that help us to deal with the gnats, mosquitoes, and biting flies we encounter at the farm. Find our Bugs Away! locally at special events, on the farm in Spring Hope, NC, in various stores in the area (see below), or order them right on the website. We have expanded our line to include Goats' Milk Soaps, Goats' Milk Lotions, Eczema and Psoriasis remedies, lip balms, and other skin care products. If you are looking for a "Gentle Giant" of a dog, look at our Great Pyrenees puppies. If you need a charming companion that will brighten your days, see our Miniature Dachshund page. If you are looking for a wonderful miniature breed of goat or pig, check out the tab for Our KInder Goats and our Pot-Belly Pigs under Our Farm Family.

Mission Statement

​

We love our animals! They're a part of our family, so we raise them with lots of TLC in a purely natural, chemical-free environment. It's better for them, it's better for us, it's better for the earth, and it's better for you!

​

​

​

In the daily workings on the farm, we met alot of different kinds of

annoying bugs. People and animals alike were being attacked. The

bugs were indiscriminate as to who would be lunch. Our Great Pyrs

were being snacked on by deer flies biting the bridges of their noses

'til they were bloody, the goats had gnats dive bombing their faces,

and we were all wearing weird hats with netting over them to keep the

gnats and the biting flies out of our eyes, noses, and mouths. We

needed help!

​

​

​

As a defensive move, we began researching different natural remedies. The recipes for Bugs Away! were developed through trial and error. They worked for us and for our animals, so we decided to share them with                                                                         our friends and neighbors. Then they shared them with their friends and                                                                      we began to share them with people through our friends in Rocky Mt. at                                                                     the Farmer's Market, Patios in Bloom, and Almands Drug Store, in Bailey                                                                     at the  Piggly Wiggly and Bailey Pharmacy. Look for us on the farm, on                                                                       Saturdays at the Rocky Mt Farmer's Market during the season or at special                                                                   events in the area.

A natural off-shoot of having the goats and making Bugs Away! is our

interest in making our own soaps and skin care products. We have en-

joyed the opportunity to create unique and wonderful scents for our

goat's milk soaps. We will keep making our unscented Goats' Milk soap   

and our customers' favorites, Baby Powder, Savannah, Coconut Creme,

Dune Daisies, Basil Grapefruit, Monkey Fart, Cucumber Melon, Pepper-

mint Patty, Lavender, Mango, Honey Ginger, and Cranberry soaps as well

as matching scented Goats' Milk Lotions. We are offering an all-natural, beeswax-based lip balm made the old fashioned way and are happy with our customer responses to the newest addition to our Skin Savin' line ----Skin Savin' Shampoo, a Karanja oil-based shampoo developed to combat psoriasis, eczema, and dry, itchy scalp. Look for these new products and all of our products on our Skin Care Products pages.
