Starbright Farm

Starbright Farm is a Cashmere goat breeder in East Haven, VT, serving Vermont and the Champlain Valley near Burlington. Under Lynda Franklin’s care, the herd benefits from careful breeding records, vaccination schedules, and climate-adapted stock selection. The farm follows national and regional breed association guidelines and arranges routine health screenings, including fiber-quality assessments each season.

Goats graze year-round on rotational paddocks with three-sided shelters by season, reducing parasite pressure, and targeted mineral supplementation supports a fine, lustrous fleece. Kids are bottle-fed and enjoy daily handling alongside family dogs to encourage friendly, calm temperaments. Seasonal open barn days have provided fiber artisans with chances to observe shearing and basic fiber grading. The farm operates as a family homestead rooted in local agricultural traditions and land stewardship. Recent visitor remarks highlight the goats’ gentle nature and the farm’s tranquil orchard and clover meadow setting.
