Ashley Clement

Ashley Clement breeds dairy goats in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay region near Baltimore. She is a member of the American Dairy Goat Association and follows their breeding standards for conformation and milk quality. Health of the herd is closely monitored through routine veterinary exams, parasite control, and nutritional screenings.

Kids stay with their dams for an extended nursing period before they join the main herd, and they are handled by hand daily to encourage friendly temperaments. Goats graze rotationally on mixed grass pastures in spring and summer, moving to spacious barns with straw bedding during colder months. Feed consists of locally milled grains and mineral supplements formulated for each stage of lactation. The farm has welcomed local schools and therapy groups for hands on visits, sharing knowledge about sustainable agriculture. Visitors often note the calm atmosphere and the goats’ gentle nature, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on welfare and community engagement.
