“That was the beginning of my goat addiction,” she said.

Goats of Anarchy has become a very popular place for visitors from all areas and for those who love donating to a good cause. The funny thing is that Lauricella's favorite television show is Sons of Anarchy, so it seems fitting that she named the farm after that show, just imagine goats instead.

“It was actually on my very first day of unemployment when Instagram featured one of our photos on their homepage and that day we got 30,000 new followers,” she said, recalling the day she hit the social media jackpot.

Each goat that is taken care of has various ailments, such as frostbite to lost limbs and physical disabilities. Many are orphans who've been rejected by their mothers and each goat gets special love and attention and custom-made prosthetics accordingly.
