A little Syncope Falls Farm even makes the Hawaiian Totem statues seem friendly.
Chesapeke Bay - January 2009 - Polar bear Plunge
33 degrees on the beach and the Syncope Falls spirit will keep us warm as we, and 8,000 other crazy people, take a polar bear plunge to benefit the Special Olympics
Despite the full body dip, Agie refused to faint!  She's getting out of that cold water - fast!  (Note Kelly knocking down the woman in front of her.)

Syncope Falls Farm- December 2008 - Visiting Vet Students
These students are also featured on our "Latest News" page, but it is worth mentioning that they are proudly displaying the t-shirts they won - she made a goat faint first, and he worked the hardest in trying to get a goat to faint.
We just like the happiness in this pic!  The fainting chickens never fail to entertain and AMAZE the crowds.
First Syncope Falls Appalachian Adventure Tour - October 2008
Here we have the two newly wed couples (Andy and Katie, Torie and Wayne) honeymooning as part of Syncope Falls Farm 1st Adventure Tour.  They are such good sports!  And look fantastic in their SFF t-shirts!
One of our favorite pics from the weekend was this one of Captain Jack Sparrow (aka Torie's new husband Wayne) celebrating after successfully cutting the top off the bottle with one stroke of the sword.   Mad sword skills are always needed on SFF. 
Mr. George Valach and his boat tours were a huge hit with visiting group.  He is one of our biggest supporters and will have free SFF hats for life!
Oregon - Portland -  Mt. Hood - September 2009
Torie and Wayne - big SFF supporters - had a fantastic wedding at a lodge at the timber line of Oregon's tallest mountain, Mt. Hood - here it is in the background and yes, the white stuff is snow.

Fainting goats were mentioned twice, TWICE, in speeches made after the wedding!  What an amazing wedding it was!
Nevada, Las Vegas -  2009
Many thanks to Jeanette for not only taking us with her to Las Vegas, but also involving ELVIS!!  What a great picture!  Elvis has never looked better. 
Sonoma, CA -  July 2010
Bermuda, July 2010
 
Our traveling herd hands took Syncope Falls Farm with them to Bermuda.  Sam is showing his best fainting goat muscles and POWERING UP!!!  Caleb is standing outside of the fort that was built to withstand invasions by various militaries (as most of the pirates seemed to be inside of the city) - the true pirate fainting goat spirit!
A wonderful group of Fainting Goat supporters showing their Fainting Pride, and love of humorous Korean sun visors, in the Armstrong Redwood Forest in Sonoma, CA.
Seatlle, WA January 2011
Nothing can dampen the spirits of these two lovely Fainting Goat ladies, not even the drizzle in Seattle's famous Public Market.  Make 'em laugh, girls!
Alaska, May 2011
Here's Pete in GlenAllen Alaska. Pete is a known Fainter Hunter, and has just been tipped off that a small herd of fainting goats is roaming free in the Wrangell Mountains. Determined to bring laughter to the dark, cold nights of Alaska, Pistol Packing Petey will bring the fainters in alive, but hopefully not before he laughs himself to death. It's a dangerous job, but Pete is determined to spread the joy of the fainters to the ends of the earth! God Speed Pete, and watch out for frostbite!
