AN ECO-FRIENDLY GOAT FARM
You’ll want to explore Goatland, an eco-friendly goat farm situated on an Old Cane Plantation Land, in Mathis Pond Road, nestled between Swetes and Matthews villages in the centre of Antigua.
The farm is complete with animals including goats, of course as well as sheep, donkeys, livestock guardian Akbash dogs, guinea birds, chickens, a deer, and two cows. We are the only Caribbean farm to have goats from the off-shore island of Redonda. These strange-looking long-horned goats were brought to Redonda in the late 18th century as a food source for the Guano miners.

We are also the only Caribbean goat farm to have Kiko goats, a breed that originated in New Zealand. We offer a chance to get up close and personal with our goats, deer, sheep and cows. Cool out in the breeze and relax at our peaceful farm.
Beyond stopping by to view the animals at our local farm, you'll be able to check out our no-till farming methods with multi-species crops to improve the soil’s biome and water holding capacity. Our goat manure is returned to the land as fertilizer. Tour our garden of native trees and forage plants and see our plans for the future of the farm.
A visit to Goatland is a tour like no other! You'll look at farms as more than just a place that keeps animals and agriculture.
