Get to know us

 

We are situated in beautiful North Dundas just outside of Chesterville, Ontario about 45 minutes south of Ottawa, Ontario. We have a 100 acre farm and purchased our first fainting goat, Twilight, from Flevohill Acres as a Father's Day present for my husband in 2011.

Thanks to some excellent breeding choices and the keen eye of Nathalie & Wim Keurentjes-Joly from Flevohill we have been able to acquire some of the oldest and best known blood lines in the Fainting world such as Wells, Coyote Creek, Bending Tree Ranch, Onion Creek Ranch etc.

In October of 2018, I traveled to Austin, Texas for a 4 day course on a working ranch owned by Suzanne Gasparotto and co-hosted with Pat Cotten of Bending Tree Ranch. These two gals are so knowledgeable and have written hundreds of articles. If you ever get a chance to attend this course it is well worth the trip.

We test our entire herd annually. Who cares?

We care! Test for what? CL, CAE & Johnes are (3) fatal diseases for goats and there is no cure. The only real solution if you have animals testing positive to any of these problems is euthanasia.

We do not want to sell you an animal that is contagious. This is why we maintain a “closed” herd meaning that we don’t allow any animal on the property that has not tested negatively and we screen our own adult herd members every 18 months for these conditions.
