We are a small, family-run artisan ranch in the panhandle of Florida. Most of our property is pasture, with the exception of a few acres of Mayhaw trees in a seasonal pond. We raise Miniature Tennessee Fainting Goats to sell as family pets. We pasture a half dozen sheep for wool, live with several Peafowl for beauty and entertainment, and a couple of dozen Guinee Fowl for pest control and more entertainment. A hundred and twenty-five chickens supply us with plenty of eggs. A dozen ducks offer up a few eggs a day as well. You can pet the goats and Baboy, our Potbellied pig. Walking in the pastures offers a glimpse at the local variety of flowers, birds, and insect life. Stay away from the dozen bee hives we watch over. This is a very quiet and welcoming place. We do have three Great Pyrenees gradian dogs roaming the property at night. They are mostly quiet but can occasionally spend a bit of the night barking and chasing predictors. Coyotes, foxes, and raccoons are better just off the property.
Hang out, relax, read, and feed the goats. Monticello has some great restaurants, antique shops, a well-equipped sporting goods store, and a hardware store.
If you are a cyclist, there are hundreds of miles of clay roads through the North Florida and South Georgia countryside. There are very few cars and lots of views. We have some routes to share. The clear-water spring-fed Wacissa River is nearby. Bring your own canoe or kayak, or rent one from one of the businesses at the head of the river. The Aucilla River is also nearby. Both are world-class trips. We can offer advice and guide services.
Visit GoldenAcresRanchFlorida.com for more information. We are also a highly rated Harvest Host site.There is plenty of room at this private site next to the pond (the pond is sometimes dry). Water is available at the site, along with a couple of 210-household-style outlets. We also have a 30 and 50-amp RV connection at this site. The pasture is fenced; dogs are allowed but must stay within the fenced area. They are not allowed to roam the farm on or off leash. We have large gradian dogs, Peafoul and Guniies, roaming free. A bathroom is a short walk to the country store. There is no shower at this time.
