Third Acre Shy Farm

Third Acre Shy Farm breeds fainting (myotonic) goats in Ellicott City, MD, Howard County and central Maryland near Baltimore. Gregory Care has bred fainting goats for several years and participates in American Dairy Goat Association programs, ensuring does and bucks undergo standard health checks including hoof trimming and regular veterinary exams. The goats live in spacious pastures with natural shade and sturdy shelters, receiving daily rotation and hands-on socialization to promote gentle temperaments.

Third Acre Shy Farm follows sustainable grazing practices to maintain pasture quality and works with local agronomists to support soil health. The farm’s rural setting provides goats with fresh air and room to roam, supporting their natural behaviors and sound hoof health. Kids leave with detailed health records and feeding guidelines to help new owners establish routines. Offspring are raised in family settings and introduced to children early, giving each kid a predictable environment before joining their new homes.
