Open Ridge Farms

Open Ridge Farms raises Alpine, mini Alpine and Nigerian dwarf goats in Frenchtown, NJ, Hunterdon County near Trenton. Owner Brittany Dixon has more than a decade of experience breeding goats and holds memberships with national dairy goat associations, ensuring regular health screenings and genetic testing for all her stock.

Animals live in pasture-based paddocks with access to clean shelter, and daily interaction helps youngsters build confidence around people and other livestock. The farm’s focus on balanced milk production and gentle temperaments has earned praise from local 4-H families and visiting homesteaders. Regular hoof trimming and individualized feeding plans reflect a hands-on approach that blends traditional methods with current husbandry best practices.

Year-round rotational grazing on nutrient-rich fields helps maintain herd health while preserving soil quality. Prospective buyers often comment on the goats’ calm disposition during farm visits and the clarity of documentation for pedigrees and health records.
