About Us

Published by admin on Saturday, December 10, 2022

Our homestead started with a handful of baby goats back in 1995. My husband and I had a friend with a very large goat herd. That year he ended up with several orphaned babies and we were more than happy to step in and adopt them. With that, the love of farming began.

Soon, 3 became 5 and then 5 became 8, and so on it went. In 1999 we bought our first piece of property that was 35 acres and more pets were brought in. That is when we chose our farm name Huggable Pets Farm. Not only did we love each animal as a family pet, but it was a play on our last name Huggins.

Over the years we have cared for many types of animals, even becoming the largest chinchilla breeders in the south east as Lowcountry Chinchillas.

As our family changed and our kids grew older, our interest in farm life has also changed. What started as a love of animals turned into a business and then turned back into a small hobby. Now, it is becoming a way of life. Our little farm has now become a homestead. For several years, we have begun moving more towards raising our own food and becoming self sufficient. We have planted fruit trees and berry bushes, put in large gardens, and are focusing on keeping animals that serve a purpose. This website will be our way of documenting our homesteading journey.
