Rising Phoenix Farm is a small, family-run farm in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom dedicated to ethical, sustainable farming and the well-being of our Nigerian Dwarf goats. We believe good farming comes from balancing care for animals, respect for nature, and sound agricultural practices.
Our goats are raised with attention to their health, comfort, and happiness. They live in a clean, safe environment that allows them to thrive. By using sustainable methods, we care for both our animals and the land they live on.
We specialize in breeding high-quality, ADGA-registered Nigerian Dwarf goats known for their friendly temperaments and rich, high-butterfat milk. That same milk is used to make our handcrafted goat milk soap—made in small batches and designed to be gentle, nourishing, and long-lasting.
Rising Phoenix Farm reflects our values of hard work, compassion, and community. We’re proud to share a piece of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom with you and invite you to experience the quality and care that guide everything we do.



From the side, Filomena presents an impressive silhouette: long and level over the topline, with a gently sloping rump and excellent width through the barrel and escutcheon.

From the side, Filomena presents an impressive silhouette: long and level over the topline, with a gently sloping rump and excellent width through the barrel and escutcheon. Her bone is strong but not coarse, and her stance is grounded and sure-footed. She’s the kind of doe that’s easy to overlook until you realize she’s always in the right condition, always carries well, and consistently raises well-grown kids.
She’s shown a high degree of udder reliability — balanced: good capacity, solid texture, easy to milk, and functional year over year. Her rear udder attachment and teat spacing are clean, and while she could use a little more medial height, she makes up for it in production and longevity.
Sire: Stoneyhill Black Phillip
Dam: The Broadfork Brienne of Tarth
Filomena herself is built from layers of soundness..

Navia shows a strong concentration of Sans Gene, Sugar Moon, and Brook Valley genetics. Her sire, Morrison’s JL Lore, and dam, Morrison’s JG Queen of Hearts, are both rooted in productive, dairy-forward lines that emphasize longevity, body capacity, and refined structure.
She’s a product of multiple crosses on:

Pandora pulls from the solid, dependable structure of Filomena, and the charismatic, confident presence of Lore.
This pairing doubles down on structural correctness while introducing just the right amount of eye-catching appeal.
Pandora makes an impression:
She’s youthful still, but already showing balance and confidence in her stance. One of her strengths is that she feeds anyone, and can handle milking pressure and hold onto body condition.

Maleficent is one of those does that quietly commands your attention. Her sleek black coat and scattered moonspots give her visual drama, but it’s the frame beneath that sets her apart: long, level, and built to last. She is the kind of doe you notice more with each pass — the one who proves herself not through flash, but function.

Maleficent is one of those does that quietly commands your attention. Her sleek black coat and scattered moonspots give her visual drama, but it’s the frame beneath that sets her apart: long, level, and built to last. She is the kind of doe you notice more with each pass — the one who proves herself not through flash, but function.
She’s the daughter of The Broadfork Filomena and Morrison’s FZ Allspice, placing her squarely in a productive, structurally sound maternal line that includes Brienne of Tarth, Spellbound Alice, and Black Phillip. This is a powerhouse foundation with consistent build, solid udders, and a reputation for resilience.
Maleficent shows excellent length of body and a naturally level topline. Her feet are tight, pasterns strong, and rear leg angulation correct — all of which point toward longevity and ease of movement. Her rump shows moderate slope and decent width, enough to support capacity in the rear udder.
She moves with a clean, athletic stride and stands alert without being tense. Her build is more moderate than extreme — feminine without being fragile, powerful without being bulky.
Sire: Morrison’s FZ Allspice
Dam: The Broadfork Filomena
Maleficent also carries multiple lines back to Rosasharn TL Cauldron and NC Promisedland Rain-Beau, reinforcing udder quality, improved teat placement, and production.

Clepsydra presents with a long, level body, good capacity, and a gentle slope through the rump. She shows correct angulation in her rear legs and clean lines through the shoulders. Her pasterns are holding up well, and she stands with an easy steadiness that reflects both age and work ethic.

She carries her udder deep and soft, not extreme in height or attachment, but accessible and capacious. This is a doe who knows how to produce.
Her coat is thick, slightly frosted, and weather-tolerant — a good reflection of her overall hardiness. In a pasture full of personalities, she’s one of the calm observers.

Her coat glows in warm gold tones with bold white splashes, and her striking blue eyes bring a spark of personality to match her frame. But she’s more than just pretty — Phoebe is practical, put-together, and playing a key role in the structure of your herd.
Phoebe presents with:
Her underline is smooth and clean, and her stance suggests a doe that carries and milks evenly. There’s no sway, no sag — just functional strength.
Phoebe fills the role of a structural stabilizer in our herd — a doe who offers balance across the board.
Her blue eyes add visual appeal in kids without detracting from conformation.

Nymphadora moves with a deep chest, strong frame, and that classic, grounded stance. She’s exactly what we expected from the pairing of Filomena and Allspice: form, function, and future all rolled into one.

Nymphadora moves with a deep chest, strong frame, and that classic, grounded stance. She’s exactly what we expected from the pairing of Filomena and Allspice: form, function, and future all rolled into one.
Even as a younger doe, Nymphadora is already showing signs of maturity and soundness. Her back is long and level, her rump slope clean and proportional, and she tracks straight with every step.
Dam: Filomena – A daughter of Brienne, known for wide escutcheons and capacious, well-attached udders. Filomena adds dairyness and production potential to the mix, and passes on that open ribbing and strength of character. She’s a doe who milks with ease and stays sound doing it.
Sire: Allspice – Brings in width, front-end strength, and rock-solid hooves. His kids are known for being sturdy, good growers with low-maintenance temperaments and structural reliability.
Together, they’ve produced a daughter who feels like she was built for the long game: practical, productive, and full of presence.

Naiad, the cream-colored daughter of Golden Gate, embodies a sense of grace and purity. Her serene coat reflects the gentle beauty of a water nymph, which is fitting given her name's connection to Greek mythology. Naiad's heritage and elegant appearance make her a delightful addition to our goat family, exuding a sense of serenity and charm that's truly enchanting.

Regina is a daughter of our herd sire Lore and foundation doe Filomena. She carries forward some of our most reliable traits in both structure and substance.

Regina is a daughter of our herd sire Lore and foundation doe Filomena. She carries forward some of our most reliable traits in both structure and substance.
Structurally, Regina is showing early depth of barrel, a wide escutcheon, and excellent leg placement — setting the stage for ease of kidding and productive milking down the line. Her topline is level and clean, and she tracks squarely on strong feet with a broad, well-set stance. These physical indicators point to the kind of longevity and hardiness we prioritize.
Color-wise, Regina is a chocolate-based buckskin with soft white spotting and frosted highlights — but her value runs deeper than her pretty coat. She is the third generation in a maternal line known for consistent production, solid udders, and gentle temperaments.
We expect Regina to mature into a powerful yet refined doe, ideal for adding strength, width, and reliability to a breeding program. With a sire known for boldness and bone, and a dam that brings both femininity and strength, Regina represents the best of both worlds — form and function, flash and foundation.
Rudbeckia, the playful daughter of Filomena, showcases a captivating blend of brown and grey in her coat, adding a touch of uniqueness to her appearance. Her charming and spirited personality makes her a favorite among the herd, as she's always ready for a delightful adventure. Rudbeckia's energy and playfulness are infectious, making her the perfect companion for a day filled with laughter and fun. With Filomena as her mother, she's destined to carry on the family's legacy of strength and dairy excellence, making her a valuable addition to our goat family.

Olivyana brings depth and elegance to the Rising Phoenix Farm herd, both in structure and lineage.

Olivyana brings depth and elegance to the Rising Phoenix Farm herd, both in structure and lineage. A daughter of Eagle Meadows Joker and Morrison's FO Golden Gate, her pedigree is packed with notable names in Nigerian Dwarf breeding, including J-Nels Cookie Monster, Sugar Moon Nut-Ella, and Old Mountain Farm Black Tulip. These lines are known not only for milk production, but for overall balance, strength of general appearance, and longevity in the herd.
In person, Olivyana is refined yet sturdy, with a feminine build and a graceful neckline that stands out in a crowd. Her pale gold-and-cream coat and sharp, alert expression reflect both poise and presence. Her topline holds beautifully level on the move, and she carries herself with quiet confidence—a trait that often reveals itself in the milk room too.
Olivyana has proven to be a reliable dam, passing on her smoothness of blending and long-bodied depth to her offspring.

Salacia is an eye-catching young doe with a soft elegance that belies the depth of her genetics. A daughter of Lore, our richly colored, moonspotted herd sire, and Olivyana, a doe from powerhouse milking lines like Sugar Moon Nut-Ella and J-Nels Cookie Monster, Salacia represents a careful blend of structure, production potential, and qu
Salacia is an eye-catching young doe with a soft elegance that belies the depth of her genetics. A daughter of Lore, our richly colored, moonspotted herd sire, and Olivyana, a doe from powerhouse milking lines like Sugar Moon Nut-Ella and J-Nels Cookie Monster, Salacia represents a careful blend of structure, production potential, and quiet charisma.
Structurally, Salacia is showing early signs of strong conformation: a smooth front end with tight shoulders, long and level topline, and legs that track straight and true. Her width between the hocks and depth through the heart give her a promising base for future udder development and ease of kidding.
Genetically, she brings together some of our most proven traits — her dam line is known for steady, productive udders with soft texture and strong attachments, while her sire has stamped his kids with bold presence, strong pasterns, and a wide rump.
Her coloring is delicate and unusual: a creamy buckskin with frosted ears and white overlay, giving her an almost ethereal appearance.

Salus is an exciting young doeling who pairs sharp structure with undeniable presence. A full sister to Salacia, she is another standout from the highly anticipated pairing of Lore, our herd sire known for his masculine strength and moonspotted charm, and Olivyana, a polished and productive doe from proven milking lines.
Salus presents a
Salus is an exciting young doeling who pairs sharp structure with undeniable presence. A full sister to Salacia, she is another standout from the highly anticipated pairing of Lore, our herd sire known for his masculine strength and moonspotted charm, and Olivyana, a polished and productive doe from proven milking lines.
Salus presents a sleek black coat with a striking white crown and scattered moonspot-like markings along her flanks. Visually bold and structurally promising, she exhibits a level topline, strong brisket extension, and tight front end assembly — all signs of excellent potential for future performance and durability.
Her dam, Olivyana, traces back to some of the most recognizable names in the Nigerian Dwarf dairy world, with an emphasis on consistency and dairy strength. From her sire Lore, Salus inherits bone, balance, and a wide rear stance that speaks to good udder capacity in maturity.
Already showing a confident, alert demeanor, Salus is developing into a doeling that we believe will have the potential to thrive both in the milk pail and in the show ring. With her strong genetic foundation and promising frame, she’s a valuable contributor to our breeding goals.

Lore is a medium-framed, structurally correct buck with a dense, weather-resistant coat and eye-catching moonspots. He stands square and strong with clean legs, tight pasterns, and a wide chest that speaks to his natural masculinity and breeding vigor. His topline is level, and he carries balanced depth and width throughout — making him a solid structural influence in the herd.
His head is broad with wide nostrils and a slightly convex profile, and his neck sets smoothly into the shoulders with a light crest — giving him a presence that reads confident, not aggressive. He moves cleanly and with purpose, showing strength without being coarse.
Lore’s temperament is steady and alert. He’s not reactive or pushy, and he tends to settle quickly in new environments. This makes him both easy to manage and a calming influence on more excitable stock. His libido is strong but not frantic — a trait we value for controlled breeding windows.
Genetically, Lore brings strong breed character, moderate size, and hardiness. He’s ideal for adding structure, calm demeanor, and outcross visual appeal (thanks to those moonspots and coat pattern). We expect him to throw kids with clean lines, sturdy legs, and solid growth. His daughters should be especially promising in structure and balance, with early indications of width through the rump and smooth front ends.

Stilgar is the kind of young buck that makes a person pause, both for his striking blue eyes or bold markings and because he carries himself like he already knows he’s something special.
Retained from heritage milking lines known for longevity, butterfat, and correct udders, Stilgar stands as a bridge between beauty and utility. His dam line brings depth and refinement, with strong medial ligaments and productive mammaries, while his sire’s side adds width, rear leg strength, and impressive production consistency.
Even as a junior, Stilgar’s structure is coming together cleanly with a level topline, tight pasterns, and balanced depth of body. His rump is smoothly sloped, setting him up to sire kids with proper udder attachments and ease of kidding. And while he’s still growing into himself, the early signs are all there: strength without bulk, dairy character without frailty.
What we love most? He’s observant. Calm. Not pushy. He’s the kind of buck that thinks before he moves. In a herd, that temperament is gold.

Born to Tiny Hill Farm Clepsydra and our herd sire Lore, these cream-colored twin bucks are cut from the same cloth — but each is stitching his own story.
They’re easy on the eyes, sure — that soft, frosted cream coat catches the sun in just the right way — but what sets them apart is the depth they bring behind that beauty. Nearly identical, Sylvanus has a black moonspot that his brother does not feature.
Their dam, Clepsydra, traces back to some of the most respected names in production genetics: Sugar Moon, PromisedLand, Old Mountain Farm. She carries the kind of quiet, consistent milk lines that don’t need flashing lights to prove their worth. Her udder is capacious and well-attached, and while her linear scores reflect some weaknesses in medial and rear height, her production numbers tell a different story: good butterfat, strong protein, and reliability over time.
Their sire, Lore, brings a different flavor: strong feet and legs, a commanding presence, and a steadiness that anchors the herd. His kids tend to come out wide, grounded, and curious — and these two are no exception.
Sylvanus is long and level, with a particularly open escutcheon and elegant movement. He’s refined without being delicate — showing signs of dairy strength with enough substance to stay sound. He’s the one who watches first, moves second — precise, thoughtful, and incredibly balanced for his age. His black moonspot helps differentiate him from his brother.
Saturnus, on the other hand, is broader through the chest and a bit bolder in his approach. He stands with a sturdy, square base and tracks with confidence. He brings more bone, more depth, and a slightly more rugged feel, without losing correctness or charm.
Together, they offer:

Born to Lore and Nymphadora, Sarator carries some of the strongest lines in the Rising Phoenix program. His dam is a daughter of Brienne, whose influence can be seen in her wide escutcheon, strong medial support, and deep capacity. And Nymphadora’s full sister, Filomena, is already a rising star, which makes Sarator is a next-generation anchor with serious potential.
From Lore, he inherits structural consistency: strong feet and legs, a clean front end, and a rock-solid topline. Even as a youngster, Sarator stands square and moves with purpose. His pasterns are tight, his chest floor is already developing width, and his rump angle is shaping up cleanly — a trait that will pay dividends in udder attachment down the line.
