About Us:
Our farm is located in the tiny rural town of Pleasureville. We moved here in 2016 with some horses, donkeys, cats, and a small herd of Pygmy cross goats. As the years have gone by, we've managed to increase the number of each type of animal, doubling the number of cats and donkeys, adding a few horses, and of course, breeding our herd of goats. We have since opened two Air B&B for visitors to experience farm life! We host guests throughout kidding seasons, honey harvests, and have many summer activities as well!

How We Got Started:
After dabbling in the pet goat world for a few years, we began adding commercial meat crosses to our herd. We bred Boer/Kiko kids for about 3.5 years, before being introduced to Myotonics by a fellow breeder. We integrated the breed into our herd by crossing a Myotonic buck to our Boer does and upon seeing the result, have never looked back.
We made the switch over to a straight Myotonic herd after showing our small collection of purebreds for a year. Since then, we have increased our herd to around 20 goats and test our herd annually for CL, CAE and Johne's disease. We strive to create quality show animals and have loved every minute of the journey. We are grateful to the countless other breeders who have helped us in the past and hope to do the same for future new breeders. |
Our History
One Goat Farm began with an older Pygmy doe who was expecting twins at any moment. We named her Harriet Olson after the iconic busybody character from the Little House on the Prairie series. (Her personality matched the character perfectly!) We purchased her in 2012 and her previous owners claimed she was about 4 years old. As inexperienced goat owners, we believed them and brought her home. We now estimate she was closer to 6 when we got her, making her about 16 years old by the time she passed in the summer of 2022. She is the farm’s namesake, the “One Goat” of One Goat Farm.
