Maple Run Farm

Maple Run Farm, Cashmere goats, Madison, VA, Central Virginia near Charlottesville. The farm follows recognized breeding standards, performs routine health testing for common concerns such as CAE and CL, and maintains detailed records of each herd member. Owner Jane Hammond draws on a background in small-scale farming and fiber crafts to support each goat from the kid stage onwards. Kids are raised alongside adult does on spacious, rotational pastures and enjoy daily socialization with handlers to encourage trust and calm behavior.

Maple Run places equal emphasis on fiber quality and gentle temperaments, resulting in soft, fine undercoats prized by hand spinners. Breeding selections prioritize strong health and high-quality fleece yield under varied seasonal conditions on pasture and in open barns. The homestead blends traditional husbandry with attentive care, and its herd thrives in a sunlit barn environment. Visits by appointment allow prospective owners to meet goats in a relaxed setting.
