Our Story

Our farming journey began not with a plan, but with a shared love of animals. That love grew into three dogs, each named after a tree, inspiring the “Forest” in Noppe Forest Farm. Brett, a South African wildlife field guide and conservation specialist, and Natascha, with a background in business and hospitality, invested in a small piece of land and found unexpected fulfillment. The farm expanded naturally to chickens, donkeys, bees, sheep, and alpacas. Breeding Registered Highland Cattle sparked a deep appreciation for the breed. Today, our goal is a fully self-sustaining farm producing exceptional Highland cattle for those who love Highland Coos.
