Our farm, located in the heart of Oswego County, New York, is nestled on 120 acres in Mexico and is home to a growing community of animals and people alike. As first-generation farmers, we’re passionate about restoring our historic dairy farm to its former beauty-reviving the land and buildings with new purpose and care.

We specialize in horse boarding, lessons, and training across a variety of disciplines, from dressage and western riding to colt starting and driving. With spacious stalls, acres of turnout, and a newly constructed indoor riding arena, we offer a welcoming environment for both horse and rider.

In addition to our equine services, we offer Fainting Goat Yoga-a fun and relaxing wellness experience open to all ages—as well as Horse & Farm Day Camps for children, where young adventurers can enjoy horseback riding, farm crafts, animal care, and hands-on farm life experiences.

Our farm is also home to a herd of Miniature Silky Fainting Goats, who bring joy and laughter to everyone they meet, along with our loyal livestock guardian dogs who help keep the farm safe and thriving.

Homesteading, in reality, is the art of embracing our roots, rediscovering our relationship with the land, and nurturing a life that's both fulfilling and meaningful. It's a journey of self-discovery, a path that leads us back to simplicity. Lastly, it's a celebration of the beauty that can be found in the most basic things."

Our Critters

Horses at burnt feather farms

All of our personal horses at Burnt Feather Farms are rescues. Each has a unique story, and we’re proud to give them a safe, loving home where they can thrive. All of them are undergoing rehabilitation and training as future lesson horses.

White Nigerian Dwarf in Pasture Pennsylvania Farm

Our farm is home to Mini Silky Fainters, Fainters, and Nigerian Dwarfs. Our charming fainters never fail to put a smile on everyone’s face, while our Dwarfs  provide us with the highest quality milk for all of our homesteading needs.

The farm relies on the incredible protection and companionship of Great Pyrenees and Akbash livestock guardian dogs.  Because they are bred to ensure the security of our farm, goats, and rabbits, we couldn’t farm without them!

Goats n Pastures

Our herd consists of Miniature Silky Fainter Goats, Nigerian Dwarfs and Fainters. They are a wild bunch full of mischief, curiosity, and sass. Consequently, they'll do just about anything for a treat.

Chiefly, our goats were meant to be land clearing pets. We started with two fainters, Frosty and Stumpy. Thereafter, we quickly fell in love with their personalities, and in truth, their fainting. As a result we have expanded our herd to include Nigerians and most recently, Mini Silky Fainters, which we milk to make our own cheese, soaps, butter and of course- milk!

We also occasionally offer goat yoga with our friendliest goats, whose antics make for a lighthearted and fun experience. We have a limited number of kids available each year as we generally retain goats that fit our breeding goals each year for our farm in New York.
