Food Vaccum Sealer
If you like to preserve food or you butcher your own meat chickens, a food vaccum sealer is important! Here is the one we recently got to replace our old one and it seems to be doing great! It isn't industrial but it works for us!

Frugal Alpaca Farmer Book
There is not a lot of information out there on Alpacas. This is one book I got and haven't finished reading. It is 384 pages and has a lot of detailed information. It is written in more of paragraph form. We have two Alpaca reference books and this is one I still recommend having to learn more on how to have Alpacas on your farm especially if you want a more in depth resource.

Garden Auger drill bits
These auger drill bits have been a life saver on my hands and wrists. It also made planting SO much faster! I HIGHLY recommend these if you plan to buy plants or if you plant seeds and repot them as they grow bigger. There are 4 different sizes which is perfect depending on how big your plant base is.

Garden bench/kneeler
For those who have a hard time in the garden with bending over and kneeling, this handy bench/kneeler is helpful to take a little of the edge off. It also has a nice side pouch that you can put on or take off to hold your gardening tools.

Goat Tattoo Gun
This goat tattoo gun we use for our registered goats, this gun holds 4 digits. I later found another smaller one at a thrift store that holds more letters/numbers in order to tattoo for MN scapes ID's for our goats that are not registered (need more digits for this tattoo ID). I also feel like this bigger gun is a bit too big for our small nigerian dwarf goats. So, I'd recommend something similar but a smaller size. Note that using green ink shows up better on dark colored ears and black ink shows up better on light colored ears.

Holistic Goat Care by Gianaclis Caldwell
This holistic goat care book has helped us get started with our goat herd. We believe in trying to stay holistic as much as possible. This book is a proactive and preventative approach with more natural ways to care for our herd. This book has has a great guide for kidding season! I highly recommend having this book in your farm library.
