Goats Bring Oracle Together! Heather And Andrew Stanford Supercharge "Firewise"

Heather and Andrew have begun to school us on the virtues of goatscaping!  Goats are pretty remarkable creatures willing to take on some very tough assignments.  Like helping to clear land overrun by catclaw and other noxious weeds.

Their work on the triangle of land around the Oracle Post Office is the subject of what's fast becoming local lore.  They're so damn good at what they do!  Even long time residents like Ruben Perez marvel.

By getting into the weeds, they quicken the hearts of property owners like Kaz and me looking to defend against the threat of fire while beautifying the terrain.  And they add their own aesthetic touch by finding special places to rest and recuperate from their arduous work day!

Nature's Surprise Ranch is surely one of the best new businesses in Oracle. Heather & Andrew are full of knowledge and good cheer! They work just as hard as their wonderful goats...and three sheep! Kaz

    Kaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979.  The house we bought dated to the late 1940s.  With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.

    Queens, New York and before that Chicago, Illinois rapidly receded in our rearview mirror as small town living moved front and center.

    Of course, we had to learn how to do lots of new things - from chainsawing dead trees, fighting fires, building cabinets, patching leaky roofs; not to mention figuring out how to get along in a rural town in Arizona with the center of local government an hour away and a do-it-yourself ethos the order of the day.
