Barbara F Johnson

Barbara F Johnson raises goats in Lynchburg, Virginia, in central Virginia near Charlottesville. She participates in national registry programs and her herd undergoes routine health screening and genetic diversity assessments to support robust genetics. All breeding stock is registered with the American Goat Society and tested for common hereditary conditions. The animals graze on mixed forage pastures and are handled daily by staff in safe, low-stress environments, fostering early socialization and a calm temperament.

Barbara’s operation is set on rolling acres with a focus on sustainable land use, rotational grazing practices, and gentle husbandry. Each goat benefits from individualized attention throughout birthing and growth, living in spacious shelters with access to fresh water and shelter year-round. Fiber from select does is hand-sorted on-site and processed into small-batch yarn by local artisans. Visitors often note the serene atmosphere and the goats’ friendly demeanor.
