Faeline

Three goats are inside a barn, one in the foreground with a pink collar, and two in the background, one with a blue collar. A person standing near the door is partially visible.

Big Mama Fae is our Herd Queen. Wise, tender, and stoic, this queen has our hearts and our respect. Her sweetness brings us the most joy. She is mother to Praline, Flint, and Geode.

Praline

Our moon-spotted mama Praline leads with sass and, if you’re lucky, she will see you as a scratching post. She has the most expressive eyes that are easy to lose yourself in. Daughter of Faeline and mother to Malachite and Ruby.

Cappy

You must earn your relationship with Cappy. Once you’ve reached Cappy’s heart, you will have a best friend! She is intelligent and kind. She is a first-time mom and doing a fantastic job! Mother of Jasper and Opal.

Desi

Desi is the baby through and through. She isn’t the youngest, but she demands the most attention. She would pick time with humans over time with goats any day. She had her first baby, Sapphire, and is a wonderful mama.

Rosie

Rosie is one of our smallest goats, but with the biggest personality. She will go toe-to-toe with the larger girls and loves to bring the spunk. She makes the most hilarious expressions and is guaranteed to make you laugh!

Violet used to be shy but through our hug-violet-multiple-times-per-day program, she is now one of our most friendly. Violet is the first to line up for morning hugs and would really like to eat a strand of your hair. She is aunt to Delilah and Elaine.

Ike

Ike gives Desi’s need for attention a run for her money! Ike loves to yell hello to every human she sees. She will follow close behind and happily accepts every kiss. Sister to Izzy.

Izzy

Izzy is sister to Ike and the most romantic goat. She will stare deep into your eyes, draw you in for a hug, and delight you with her velvety fur.

This little cutie came into the world with confidence and spunk! The only kid of Desi and daughter to Rocket, she makes friends with ease and can always be found near her bestie Opal.

Opal

Opal has a loud voice and knows how to use it! She spends her days being adorable and demanding her mom feed her again. And again. And again. We are also obsessed with her underbite! Opal is daughter to Cappy and Aurthur, sister to Jasper, and best friend to Sapphire.
