Christian was born and raised in Houston, Texas. The misspent portions of his youth were largely related to punk rock and/or skateboarding. He grew up loving music and eventually working in the industry. Prior to goat farming, Christian was a touring sound engineer, most recently for a popular country singer. His live concert work took him to Australia, Japan, Western Europe and all over the North American continent. Toward the end of his career, he was on the road some 250 plus days a year, and always dreamed about retiring and having goats. After a particularly long touring year, and only two years into his AWESOME marriage, his loving wife, Lisa, let him “retire.” The farm and goats followed shortly thereafter.

Christian is in charge of all things mechanical at the farm and most of the really tough animal husbandry work. He trims hooves, assists in births, disbuds, tattoos and almost always carries the heavy feed bags. He is also our CEO guy.

Lisa was born in Minnesota, but grew up in a few different places, as a military brat. Her family settled in San Antonio when she was 10, so she tells people she’s a Texan. Lisa’s past career choices include Greeting Card Writer, Financial Services Marketing Manager and a couple other jobs she really never took to. An avowed city girl, Lisa was eventually wooed out to the country by her foodie passions. She is head cheese maker, though Christian can make a mean chevre, too.

Lisa is in charge of feeding the non-goat animals at BHF, as well as attempting to grow the family’s vegetables. She is also the one who has to give the goats their shots. Pretty funny…she’s very needle-phobic. Lisa is in charge of marketing. It’s the least she can do with her fancy Advertising degree from UT.
