About Us
We are a small hobby farm located just west of Richmond, VA
We raise ADGA and AGS registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats with a focus on correct conformation and high dairy production. We participate in both Linear Appraisal and DHIA Milk Testing programs, which provide independent evidence of a well built goat and verified milk production records.
Our herd was built starting with award winning genetics from A Better Way Farm in Charlottesville, VA! Every doe we own has earned their milk star in every category! (assuming they have had a lactation). As these are dairy animals, strong milk production is important to us. And Nigerian Dwarf milk will knock your socks off! It is sweet, creamy, and not “goaty” at all. We do offer a limited number of milk herd shares as well.
We also enjoy caring for fruit and vegetable gardens, a mixed flock of chickens, and other projects, but the goats are our primary focus and love. In fact, I would say the goats have changed our lives. We hope they bring you the joy they bring us!
Get to Know Us...
We sell goat kids on the bottle at 3 weeks old with a companion and offer some does in milk after each kidding season. We own our own bucks and maintain a closed herd (we do not bring other goats here for breeding) and we try to adhere to biosecurity best practices to both protect our herd and any animals you purchase. Our breedings can be found here, along with any available goats.
Despite what you might hear, goats do NOT eat just anything. There are quite a few myths that persist about these amazing animals! This page includes some of my thoughts and resources that have been helpful in my journey raising goats.
