Emerald Acres Farm

Emerald Acres Farm raises fainting (myotonic) goats in Walker, IA, in Linn County and the Cedar Rapids area. Owned by Caity Smith, the farm is a member of regional goat associations and follows standard health testing protocols.

Goats have daily access to pasture and a sheltered barn, and regular handling helps develop their friendly temperaments. The farm maintains a family-run atmosphere, with close attention to each animal’s development from birth through adulthood.

Caity started breeding fainting goats as part of a sustainable homestead several years ago, building a herd focused on gentle genetics. The farm offers clear lineage records for each kid, ensuring transparency about parentage and health backgrounds. Regular herd health sessions, including hoof trimming and parasite checks, support vibrant, well-adjusted goats. Most kids are registered and come with detailed care guides to help new owners settle them into home environments.
