Beaver Creek Farms

Beaver Creek Farms, fainting (Myotonic) goats, Strawberry Plains, TN in East Tennessee near Knoxville. Tom Maples has been raising fainting goats for several years and maintains active affiliations with state and national breed associations to ensure high care standards.

Their goats live on rolling pastures shaded by oak and maple trees, receiving balanced forage, mineral supplements and regular health screenings under local veterinary guidance. Kids are gently socialized from birth, encouraging calm interactions and adaptability. The farm’s approach grew from a family hobby into a homestead focused on sustainable practices.

Health protocols include age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming and regular parasite monitoring, and pens are cleaned daily to support hygiene and reduce stress. Visitors often note the goats’ easygoing demeanor and the farm’s welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere. The farm’s mixed woodland and pastureland setting supports natural browsing and encourages diverse mineral intake.
