Fainting Grits Farm

Fainting Grits Farm is a breeder of fainting (myotonic) goats in Holt, FL, in northwest Florida near Pensacola. They have been dedicated to this breed for several years and maintain health testing and registration with local and national goat associations.

Their herd enjoys spacious pastures and a clean barn environment where each goat receives daily enrichment and gentle handling from bottle to maturity. The farm follows recommended health screening and nutritional guidelines to support strong bone development and balanced temperament.

Owners Lisa P. Or Waldemar E. Zelm draw on a long family tradition of small-scale farming to nurture both breed standard and affectionate personalities. Their focus on socialization and transparency has earned praise for the calm nature of their kids at local events. The farm’s open layout and shaded loafing areas allow goats to thrive year-round. Health records are maintained for each animal to track growth milestones and breeding outcomes.
