Customer Testamonials

Kind words from Mount Carmel Goats past customers

"From the first few minutes in their fence at my house they started doing what goats do best.  Clearing brush. With minimal care they cleared out in 2 weeks what would have taken me 2 months by hand.  Thank you so much!

-Terry

"A great experience!  Was lots of fun watching and interacting with the goats!  Tommy and his helpers were the best to work with.  All hard workers!  Couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. We plan to hire Tommy and the goats again."

-Rosemary and Michael 

"We enjoyed having the goats at our house last winter for two full weeks!! They did a fantastic job and were just fun to have around - sweet animals. We learned all their names, btw…"

-Tom

"Mount Carmel Goats are the leading resource for sustainable land management in Western North Carolina, as they naturally clear brush and reduce wildfire risk without the need for harmful chemicals.  Their grazing technique on my land promoted a strong ecological balance that was fun and environmentally-friendly."

-Lisa

"Mount Carmel Goats are the perfect solution to efficiently and safely clearing steep slopes and dense vegetation like we had at our house.  Over two weeks, the herd cleared 1/3 acre and were a joy to watch work.  Tommy is a caring, responsive owner that made the whole project fun and easy.  All-in-all a successful experience!

-Don and Mary

"We were so glad to hire Tommy, Celeste, their young family and their goats to clear the forests of our 25 acre farm on the West Asheville/Leicester line.  We had hired crews, skid steers in the past which unfortunately created erosion to the cleared areas as well as the entry and exit points from the machines and crews.  With Mount Carmel Goats assistance, we cleared areas without erosion and negative impact to other areas of our farm.  The bonus of hiring Mount Carmel Goats is after a day at work you can go visit the little herd placed on your property and watch 'em frolic and feed on your weeds. It's entertaining and relaxing.  Tommy and his family were excellent communicators, professional, and prompt, which is an exception in today's world of unfulfilled promises and high prices.  We at Crowley Farms highly recommend you partner with Mount Carmel Goats!

-Jack and Jen

"We couldn't be happier with the results of having 3 weeks with 9 goats on our property!  Tommy was very skilled in assessing how long it would take his goats to clear the problem area as well as facilitated the entire process of fence set up, assessing the goats' wellness, and feeding grain.  Not only was our goal of land clearing accomplished, the added bonus of enjoying the presence of these goats far exceeded our expectations.  We placed a bench seat in the fenced area and enjoyed socializing, observing, and sharing the joy of goats with our grandchildren."
