La Chevre D'Or Family Farm

La Chevre D'Or Family Farm raises registered fainting (myotonic) goats in Rocky Ridge, Maryland, in the rolling countryside of Frederick County, roughly 20 miles north of Frederick. The farm is run by Gretchen, David, Cheyenne, Tristan, and Tyrone Van Echo, making it a true multi-generational family operation.

The farm's fainting goat program is rooted in 4-H, with the herd serving primarily as the foundation for the family's youth livestock projects. Animals are registered through the Myotonic Goat Registry (MGR), and both Gretchen and Cheyenne Van Echo are recognized MGR judges, reflecting a deeper investment in breed standards than a typical backyard herd. For those searching for registered fainting goat breeders in Maryland, that combination of youth-program focus and credentialed breed knowledge sets the farm apart.

Beyond myotonic goats, La Chevre D'Or also keeps registered NPGA pygmy goats, along with pigs, horses, chickens, and farm dogs. The farm has also donated animals to university agricultural programs, including goats placed with the University of Maryland campus farm to support hands-on animal science education.
