5/1/10: Tom and Georgi Dockery began Vivian Acres one year ago as a tribute to their daughter Vivian who lost her battle with cancer two years ago, at the age of 16.
Vivian loved animals and spent many hours with her dad imagining their goat farm. The angora goats are named after rock stars that Vivian loved such as the members of Green Day, Billie Joe, Mike and Tre. Gwen Stefani the Goat will be having babies any day now.
Tom and Georgi plan to add bees, worms and chickens to their menagerie and will be selling their yarn at the Colchester Farmers’ Market this summer.
Music: Gregory Douglass, Battler, “Broken Through”
