Small Urban Rescue Farm
located in Brooksville, Florida

This is Bucky Barns Darby! Bucky came to us as a 3 month old kid, freshly weened off his momma. He bonded with us quickly and has always been very cuddly, gentle and sweet, despite his intimidating horns. Bucky has sired Millie, Waddles, Oakley, Stormy, Tessie (Tessa), Natasha , Miracle (Sweet Pea), Kevin and Karly. He has shared his beautiful markings with all the goat babies born on the farm. We lost Bucky in November of 2023 and he will be missed greatly.

Get to Know Us
Darby Farm was a dream that started a few years ago as a small hobby farm. We always had a love of animals and early on we rescued dogs, cats and even had a few chickens and ducks. In 2020 during COVID we rescued 3 Nigerian Dwarf goats that needed a home. The goats quickly became a farm favorite so now Darby Farm has a total of 12 goats living here.
We've learned a lot about the goats and how to care for them and we are striving to do our best to let our community know about them and all of the other animals living here on the farm. Please consider liking and following along with us on our Facebook Page.
Simply put, our mission is: Providing our animals a safe place to live and by facilitating unity between humans and animals. We strive to make our corner of the world a better place by educating those who visit our farm while they get to enjoy the interaction with our animals.

What We’ve Got Planned For You
Farm Day
2025
Our first farm day was in December of 2023. It was a fun filled day with a lot of wonderful experiences. Because of the size of our farm we've limited guests to those that are already familiar with the farm. We can't wait for our next farm day to arrive.
2024 had other plans for us. Because of the multiple storms that caused damage and cleanup we were unable to open up the farm for a Farm Day in 2024. We are hoping 2025 will allow us to open up the farm to our friends and family. Stay tuned.
