MEET THE OWNERS
JASON & JOSH
Prior to starting Goat Daddy’s Farm, the “Goat Dads” were quite normal people. Jason served in the United States Army in veterinary services, working in the food inspection field as well as working with the Army’s canines and serving for a year in Afghanistan. He is a Fayetteville, NC native, but stayed in Columbia after completing a duty assignment at Fort Jackson.
Josh co-pilots the farm and works a full time job in addition to managing the farms bed and breakfast, finances, and is a graduate from USC and is a Columbia Native.
He has deep love for animals and the outdoors and making sure Jasons credit card is hidden well. Guests staying at the farm often meet Josh at the entrance to go over checkin instructions and for a morning hike around the 66 acre forest.
When the two met in 2010, they never knew what the future would hold. Years later, Josh is still working from home for the same company and Jason has quit his “day job” to run the farm. “Goat Daddy’s Farm” was meant to be a place for the animals they had accumulated while living in their previous postage stamp neighborhood. Outdoor aviaries went up for their parrots and for the pot belly pigs they had been boarding. Not far behind, the first goats and chickens arrived, and from there it has been a roller coaster ride of blood, sweat, and tears; all well worth it at the end of the day!
