Ed and Rick established Mariaville Goat Farm in 2011 with a motor home…2 young pygmy goats (Lily and Dahlia)…and a vision! Striving for a simpler, more self-sustainable way of life, we intentionally built a farm by leveraging natural resources in order to leave a smaller environmental footprint. Our first product was goat’s milk!

This evolved into the creation of our all-natural, hand-made goat milk soap! Collaboration with Jodi Fowler resulted in the creation of goat yoga at Mariaville Goat Farm and allowed us to begin sharing our space with our community – all are welcome here! Goatie Cuddles were created soon after to allow others an opportunity to experience joy while cuddling baby goats during more inclement weather. We added a 20’ yurt to our property in 2017, which we began listing on Air BnB in 2018. Since then, we have become an extremely popular vacation destination spot and even added a second venue – our tree house!

Recently, we’ve established a network of local artisans in order to support neighboring local businesses via our Community Farm Stand!
