About Us

We are a small hobby farm located in Belfast TN which is in southern middle TN, halfway in between Nashville TN and Huntsville AL.  We've lived here all of our life and love it here.  

The farm name came from the name of my petsitting business which I started in 1991.  When we started the farm in 2001 the name Critterhaven just naturally took over.  And it fits!

We started out with goats in 2001 with a nubian brush goat and a supposed pygmy.  Mee ended up being an Alpine mix rather than a pygmy!  Shows what we knew about goat breeds.

I was at the local farm center when I heard of a lady who was selling out her nigerian goat herd and taking them to the local livestock auction barn.  I met her in the Walmart parking lot and picked out Blaze and Snickers.  Scared to death but I could see their personalities even then.

The next breed we added was Pygmy.  We kept Pepper and Oreo here until we decided to go with Nigerians and mini Nubians.

Over the years we added to our herd, flying Auralia in from Idaho.  We picked her up at the airport one night in her dog crate and she is now our herd queen.  We love her so.

Blaze has since been sold and Snickers has passed away, but we have Blaze's last daughter to carry on our non registered Nigerian line.

As for the other Nigerians they are here to stay.  I don't plan on selling any of my Nigerian does and we will retain some daughters along the way.

We purchased some wonderful mini Nubians from Angela Cummings in GA when she sold out her herd.  We have wonderful memories of our mini Nubians, but time came and hay was short so we had to make some decisions and sacrifices, and the mini Nubians were chosen to be sold.

So I sold out my mini nubians...I want to spend my time with the Nigerians.

We've had goats, chickens, rabbits, pigeons, doves, pot bellied pigs, llamas, ducks, turkeys, guineas, geese, ferrets, guinea pigs, even an ostrich, but we will always keep the Nigerians.  I love their personality, their coloring, their size, everything about them.  There will never be a time when Nigerian Dwarf goats don't wander here at Critterhaven Farm!

We welcome guests but please call ahead.
