Farm Type: Goat

Beacon Farms is a small agricultural business specializing in raising Boer goats to produce premium quality goat meat. Started in 2020 Beacon Farms is owned and managed by Sarah Gibbard and her son. Nestled in Flagstaff County’s grain farming country just outside the bustling town of Daysland, Beacon Farms is currently home to around 40 Boer goats. However, when the babies are also on the farm there are around 120 goats on the farm in total. Beacon Farms takes great care in raising their goats in a free range environment the promotes optimum goat health and quality meat. Although the goats on Beacon Farms are not registered animals we are constantly striving to improve the breed through selecting top quality sires and retaining only the best doelings to expand the herd.

During Open Farm Days Beacon Farms will open the public for farm tours which will include being up close and personal with some of this years bottle baby goats including a discussion on goat confirmation and selecting quality animals. The farm will also do goat hoof trimming demonstrations, discussions on goat husbandry, goat nutrition. We will also discuss the challenges to finding a market for goat meat and the way we have chosen to process, package, market and sell our meat. On Saturday Beacon Farms will have a market on site as well featuring local vendors from the Flagstaff county. Beacon Farms will have a few different goat meat dishes prepared so guests can sample a recipe using goat meat.
