Kid Waitlist (2025)
Our Mini Lamancha goats are bred for 2 primary things: Great milk and gentle personalities. Manitoulin Farmstead goats are calm, easy to handle, and genuinely enjoyable to have around — whether you’re milking, working in the barn, or just watching them nap in the sun.
We raise our herd with a holistic, hands-on approach that focuses on health, connection, and good instincts. Our goats are free-ranging, treated with herbs and natural remedies, and handled often—especially by our kids (the human kind). They’re healthy and thriving; reach out to schedule a visit to see for yourself!
Manitoulin Farmstead is a registered breeder with the Miniature Dairy Goat Association (MDGA), and we don’t breed for numbers. Each kidding season is small and intentional, with a focus on producing goats we’re proud to raise, and excited to send off to great homes.
If you’re interested in welcoming one of our goats into your life, we invite you to join our waitlist. There’s always more demand than available kids, and we are selective in who we sell to.
Join our waitlist, and we’ll be in touch with next steps!
The next kidding season is due to start late May 2025.

Heather
Heather was one of our first goats and is the second-oldest in the herd! She is so very gentle, and a wonderful grandma to all our young goats. She has been unofficially retired from the milk stand, but remains as Natalie’s favourite goat to milk.
ReMi
Registered as “the Sound of Music”, Doe ReMi is the oldest goat in our herd, and the herd matriarch. She is the first to the hay feeder and refuses to take any nonsense from the youngins! She’s shy toward strangers but is quick to come see you for head scratches and cuddles once she gets to know you.
Tempo
Registered as “Manitoulin Feel the Beat”, Tempo is the son of ReMi and while his horns are quite intimidating, he is a quiet and gentle buck who enjoys head scatches and being brushed.
Leia
Princess Leia was one of the first kids born on our farm. She’s got a spunky but calm attitude and isn’t shy to ask for attention from anyone with hands standing nearby. She doesn’t like to take no for an answer and will push her head into your leg until you pet her… or fall over!
Laurel
Laurel takes after her mother Leia in her demands for attention. When she was young, she climbed into Natalie’s lap any chance she could get for cuddles.
Amidala
Leia’s sister Amidala is the most stereotypical goat in our herd! She learned at just a few weeks old how to jump out of her pen, and at 2 years old (and despite a permanent injury caused by her escape artist shenanigans) she still acts like she owns the barn! Amidala is great at showing us where the holes in our infrastructure are!
Poppy
Poppy isnt quite a shy as her sister Primrose, but is cautious of new people and things. She appreciates quiet, gentle folks who are willing to wait for her to be the first to approach.
Primrose
This beauty is by far our most shy doe. It took Natalie a year to convince Primrose to allow her to approach her for head scratches and pats. She’s playful and doesn’t stray far from her sister, Poppy.
Sonny
Sonny is our herd’s only wether (castrated goat), and is more like a dog with horns than a goat! He lives for pats and cuddles, and is the first to greet Natalie when she heads into the barn for milking.
Mini
Officially named “Minuet,” this little girl stole our hearts almost immediately. Born to ReMi in 2024, she is full of curiosity and spunk. The smallest (and youngest) in the herd, Mini is affectionate and always looking for attention, whether it’s a cuddle or a playful bounce around the barn. She’s the first to greet visitors, and an absolute delight to be around.
