Welcome to Sweet Gum Minis! My name is Ashley Capps and I am the owner/breeder here. My family is my husband Steve, daughter Hannah and son Matthew. I started raising dairy goats in 2005 when we determined we needed help with brush and kudzu. Little did I know what an adventure that would become and how far we'd grow in the goat world. I raised Nigerian Dwarfs with some Mini-LaManchas until selling out in 2012. I wanted to pursue a dream of horses and did. I learned that my dream of horses and reality weren't quite the same thing and I missed goats. So I got back into goats by acquiring some of the Nigerians I'd bred and Mini-LaManchas. I decided to focus on Mini-LaManchas and raised them for a few years until deciding to sell out again. Now in 2024 the absence of a few years made me really miss the farm life. It was a journey learning who I really am and what I really wanted in life and everything pulled me back to farming. To being a goat shepherd. I know where I belong and I'm so glad I'm back at it. The herd is changing a lot as we get built back up so check back often for updates. Thank you for reading.
