Mountain Meadow Farm

Mountain Meadow Farm family-run Pygora goat operation in Franklin, NC, in Macon County and the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. Beverly VanHook-Schrey and Herb Schrey have built a reputation over a decade of responsible pygora breeding, following standard health testing protocols and maintaining lineage records.

The herd grazes on rotational pasture with access to custom shelters, and kids are handled daily to promote calm temperaments. Their pygoras produce soft fiber prized by local spinners for its blend of mohair and cashmere qualities.

Local fiber artists often comment on the consistent fleece density and friendly temperament of the herd. Detailed pedigree records and performance tracking allow careful selection for fiber weight and fineness in each generation. Seasonal shearing aligns with natural fiber growth cycles, and all fleece is sorted and graded on site to ensure that breeders and artisans understand its characteristics.
