Magnolia Mama Homestead

Magnolia Mama Homestead breeds fainting (myotonic) goats in Old Town, FL, North Florida and the Gulf Coast near Gainesville. Thomas Nelson has more than a decade of experience with fainting (myotonic) goats and holds membership in the American Dairy Goat Association while following regular health testing and herd record protocols.

The goats enjoy pasture-based grazing and daily social interaction, with access to clean bedding and shelter during inclement weather. On-site kidding aligns with natural doe behavior and gentle early handling helps develop calm, well-adjusted goats suited to small farms or homesteads.

The farm follows sustainable practices, rotating paddocks to preserve pasture health and minimize parasite pressure. Bloodlines trace back to herds noted for sturdy bone structure and docile temperaments. As a small, family-run operation, the farm integrates daily chores with goat care, ensuring kids are accustomed to gentle handling and typical homestead sounds.
