Elissa Carpenter

Elissa Carpenter is a goat breeder in a small town in Vermont and the Green Mountain State near Burlington. She has been raising dairy goat kids for over five years, participating in American Dairy Goat Association shows and following standard health screening for CL and CAE. Her herd lives in pasture-based pens with access to indoor shelter, and kids are gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperaments. All animals are registered with recognized associations, and pedigrees are documented for transparency.

Elissa’s small-scale approach emphasizes nutrition from local hay and rotational grazing, and her facilities meet guidelines for hygiene and comfort. A highlight of her program is pairing goat kids with local 4-H youth to develop responsible husbandry skills. Her background as a sustainable farmer informs a breeding philosophy focused on temperament and resilience in varied climates. Clients often note the friendly nature of her kids and the emphasis she places on transparency and ongoing support.
