Sonup 2 Sondown Farm

Sonup 2 Sondown Farm breeds Mini LaMancha and Nigerian dwarf goats in Danville, VT, in the Northeast Kingdom near Burlington.

Carolyn Morrison has raised dairy goats for several years, focusing on health and temperament. She follows industry guidelines with routine herd testing and maintains membership in local and national dairy goat associations.

Mini LaMancha goats at the farm exhibit characteristic short ears and calm dispositions, while Nigerian dwarf goats deliver rich milk in a compact size. Feeding plans emphasize balanced forages and mineral supplementation, and biosecurity measures include dedicated footbaths and quarantine protocols for new arrivals. Kids are socialized from birth, spending time indoors with the family and outdoors on rotational pasture to promote sturdy hooves and strong immune systems. The farm’s layout includes a ventilated barn and secure fencing that lets the herd graze safely. Several animals from their herd have placed well at county fairs and 4-H events, reflecting a calm disposition suited to family farms.
