Dreamland Farm

Dreamland Farm, fainting (myotonic) goats, Maryville, TN, in East Tennessee near Knoxville. Dreamland Farm has been raising fainting (myotonic) goats for over a decade and follows breed association guidelines with routine health testing and genetic screenings. Kids are born and raised on pasture with daily handling to support early socialization and gentle temperaments.

Their herd management emphasizes rotational grazing, shelter access, and mineral supplementation to keep goats robust through changing seasons. The farm’s location along the Little River valley provides a tranquil setting that supports low-stress animal husbandry. One local review noted the family-run approach and the goats’ friendly dispositions. Many of their lines are valued for calm behavior and strong maternal instincts among small hobby farms in the region. Ben Shaver engages with other breeders through regional agricultural gatherings to share best practices and support breed preservation, and compost from goat bedding enriches the farm’s gardens in an integrated approach to sustainability.
