Fair Skies is located at All I Saw Farm, our home and our fledgling farm.  Located on 20 gorgeous pastoral acres in southwest Wasilla, Alaska, we are near the community of Big Lake.  We were born and raised in Alaska and we are folks with a pioneer spirit and a can-do attitude.  Heather grew up in Southeast Alaska and Lowell grew up in Southcentral Alaska. Together we live "off-the-grid" on a solar power system in Southcentral's Susitna Valley and our unlimited operations defy all related stereotypes.  In fact, our visitors often remark on how they never expected one could live so well and be independent from the local utilities, on a solar system in Alaska no less!  We do welcome visitors but due to our schedule and our commitment to a bio-secure farm, we must insist upon appointments made in advance.  In case you are unable to visit us in person, we built this website to allow you a peek from the comfort of your own home. Should you find yourself intrigued by our way of life, we hope to welcome you for a personal visit so we can share some of what we love about farming in Alaska.

Although we're still small enough to be considered in the hobby stage at this point, we have many hopeful ideas that we believe will contribute to building our community by feeding the resurgence of self-sufficiency and improving the availability of healthy whole foods.  We will also be trying some innovative approaches to bringing farm to family and we can't wait to share them with you!  In addition to chickens, ducks, turkeys, horses, and pets, part of our operations at All I Saw include our new dairy goat herd, Fair Skies.  After many months of research and careful consideration, we opted to begin our foray into the vast goat world with Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats.  When we first laid eyes upon them, we were fascinated with the production capacity, economical feed requirements, and outgoing personalities of these small creatures.  Once we opened our eyes, they seemed to instantly transform from barnyard ornaments to working partners and devoted companions. We would love to expand into other breeds in the future, but for now we are concentrating on these very special Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats.

We take our responsibilities to the Nigerian Dwarf dairy breed very seriously. We are committed to selective breeding, producing high-production dairy animals that are correctly built to withstand the test of time. Longevity is crucial to success in this goal and we continually strive to contribute to the improvement of the breed and growth of the industry.

For more information about our herd, please visit About Fair Skies.  Be sure to ask about our Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) incentive program!

This site is still under construction and we hope you'll return often to watch us grow.  We will be adding several more tidbits of information about our goats, the development of our herd, and our plans for the coming years.  Welcome to our website.
