Windy Lane Farm

Windy Lane Farm, fainting (myotonic) goats, Abingdon, VA, in Southwest Virginia near Bristol.

Denise Boggess has raised these goats for more than ten years, focusing on balanced nutrition, consistent hoof care and regular health screenings.

The herd is kept on open pastures with sturdy shelter, and animals are introduced to visitors early to encourage calm temperaments. Young goats are transitioned through a daily routine of grazing, barn interactions and supervised group play before going to new homes. A recent customer noted the gentle nature of her stock and the clear communication around breeding schedules.

Each animal undergoes regular deworming and vaccination schedules in line with regional veterinary guidelines. Breeding pairs are selected for strong maternal instincts and consistent milk production, traits valued by homesteaders and small farms alike. The farm’s roots in family agriculture inform its sustainable pasture rotations and minimal-stress handling approach.
