While Country Charm Farm is home to a variety of farm animals, our primary focus revolves around the Nigerian Dwarf goat. Our mission is to produce the highest quality Nigerian Dwarf goat possible, striving to preserve ideal breed standards. We have selected and bred quality animals with strong milk lines and excellent pedigrees. Four of our original goats came from CornerStone Farm, one of which was CornerStone Farm Bethsan, the 2007 AGS Grand Champion Jr. Doe. Along with the CornerStone Farm lines we have some very strong pedigrees from such reputable farms as Caesar’s Villa, Twin Creeks, Green Gate, Goodwood, Gay-Mor’s, Tranquility Acres, Rosasharn, 4 Fun, Enchanted Hill, Stonewall, and Pocket Sized. We are very pleased with the overall pedigree combinations we have been able to blend together. We are very hopeful this strong core herd has equipped us with the tools needed to continue to improve.
We had the whole herd tested for Brucellosis and CAE in August 2011. We are proud to say we have a 100% clean herd! Great!
We follow select breeding practices in order to enhance and improve the quality of our herd with each generation; producing exceptional quality, healthy, happy Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats. Our focus lies in providing quality over quantity; health over wealth; high milk fat content over volume; giving our buyers the confidence they are purchasing a well cared for animal of the highest standards.

We are in the process of opening a Country Store on our farm. Lots of progress is being made and we hope to open by the beginning of June. Check in often to follow the progress.
After two years of research and planning we are now actively pursuing our Grade B dairy license. We have most of the needed equipment on hand and are now finalizing the design of our cheese room. Our cheese room will be located in the same building as the store. We are very excited about being able to provide our cheese in the store.
In preparation for obtaining our Dairy License I have attended many homestead cheese classes as well as an intensive 3 day workshop at North Carolina State University on cheese making. I have also been teaching cheese classes for different interested groups in the Halifax area. One of exciting activities we will be offering in the near future will be to use the country store during off hours to hold small classes to teach cheese and goat milk soap making. We can't wait to get started.
