Welcome to Ambarino Ranch, a small, family-run farmstead in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, dedicated to ethical animal husbandry, sustainable living, and producing top-quality Nigerian Dwarf goats.

Our Story

Our journey began when we moved from the UK to the US to pursue a lifelong dream—building a farmstead where we could live in harmony with the land, raise animals with care, and provide natural, sustainable products. We started small, with chickens and rabbits, but everything changed when we brought home our first two Nigerian Dwarf goats. What started as a simple addition to our homestead quickly turned into a passion. We fell in love with their intelligence, personalities, and incredible milk production.

Realizing the potential in these wonderful animals, we shifted our focus entirely to breeding registered Nigerian Dwarfs, striving to improve the breed in conformation, production, and temperament. What began as a personal love for goats has evolved into a serious commitment to responsible breeding, education, and helping others discover the joy of these incredible animals.

Our Mission & Values

At Ambarino Ranch, we believe in doing things the right way—not the easy way. We are committed to:

• Ethical Breeding & Animal Welfare – We focus on responsible breeding practices, prioritizing health, longevity, and temperament. All of our goats are health-tested and carefully bred to ensure strong genetics, excellent milk production, and friendly personalities.
• Education & Advocacy – Too often, people jump into goat ownership without understanding proper care. We are passionate about teaching proper animal husbandry and helping new owners learn the best practices for raising happy, healthy goats.
• Sustainable & Natural Living – We avoid pesticides, GMOs, and ultra-processed products, striving for natural, organic alternatives in everything we do.
• Supporting Small & Local – We make a point to buy from small businesses, source local when possible, and support other farmers—especially those in marginalized communities. The farming world can feel exclusive and unwelcoming, but we believe in creating an inclusive, supportive space for all who share a passion for ethical agriculture.

What We Offer

We are proud to provide a range of goat-related products and services, including:

– Registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats – We breed for show, milk production, and friendly dispositions. Whether you’re looking for a show-quality goat, a backyard milker, or a loving companion, we carefully match each goat with the right home.
– Organic Goat Milk Products – Our handcrafted goat milk soaps and lotions are made with organic, skin-friendly ingredients. We also offer fresh goat cheese and raw goat milk for personal use (where permitted).
– Farm-Fresh Produce & Eggs – We grow organic vegetables and collect fresh pasture-raised eggs, available seasonally.
– Future Offerings – We are excited to expand into goat yoga, petting zoos, and goat cuddle sessions in the near future, bringing people closer to these amazing animals.

Why Nigerian Dwarf Goats?

Nigerian Dwarf goats may be small, but they are big in personality! Known for their high butterfat content in milk, friendly and playful nature, and manageable size, they make excellent homestead goats for milk production and companionship. Our goal is to preserve and improve the breed, ensuring that each generation is healthier, stronger, and better than the last.
