We are a small, family-run, artisan ranch in the panhandle of Florida. We raise sheep and goats, board pets, have Farm Tours and make jelly from the native Mayhaw trees on the property. ------------ We raise Tennessee Fainting Goats to sell to families for pets, weed control or breeding. This breed of goat and their cousins, the Mini-Myotonics are perfect outdoor pets for children. ------------ We also raise wool sheep for fiber products. We maintain our herds and flocks at sustainable levels and they are all pasture-raised naturally, without pesticides or hormones, in a non-stressed environment. ------------ Golden Acres Ranch is situated just north of the small town of Monticello on forty-three acres of cultivated pine forest and pasture. It has a couple of swimming holes and one of the largest Mayhaw ponds in the region. Every year we have a Mayhaw Berry Harvest Festival where, harvest-permitting, you can get freshly harvested berries or some of our own Mayhaw Berry Jelly. We also grow blueberries and make Blueberry Jam. ------------ We have lots of other events here during the year. The ranch provides a beautiful venue for recreation, education, and the sale of food, art, and other natural products from nearby farms and craftspeople. We're proud to be among the original participants of the Annual North Florida-South Georgia Farm Tour. ------------ We board dogs and other family pets. We have a combination of indoor and outdoor facilities for all types and sizes. We especially love dogs, and in addition to our house dogs, Yoda and Bailey, we keep Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs on the property to protect the sheep and goats. They live outdoors with their particular flock, and every year or so we breed a female for puppies to sell. ------------ And let's not forget the chickens! Lots of semi-free-ranging chickens provide us with eggs and entertainment. We have 20+ resident Guinea Fowl and sell keets during the Fall Farm Tour. ------------ In our Country Store, you will find our homemade jellies from our own Mayhaw Berries and Blueberries. We also make wool fiber products, from rugs to felt ornaments and cute dryer balls. We stock a variety of products, crafts, and artworks from our neighboring farms and ranches. ------------ We love to share what do and what we've learned. Bring the kids out for a visit!
