Thank you for your interest in Goatastic Acres at Kupiec Farms.  Our Nigerian Dwarf goat herd is AGS and NDGA registered.  A portion of every goat we sell and a portion of all the grain we harvest is donated to Heifer, International in an effort to make the world a better place, one goat at a time!   That's how I came up with the name "Goatastic!"   Last year we were able to donate six large dairy goats and a flock of laying hens to third world families.   Thank you to our customers who helped to make it happen each time they chose a  Goatastic Acres goat!  
 

     Ours is a large hobby farm, about 400 acres, with creatures great and small. Some of them we own and some of them we simply enjoy...like the fox we see darting through the shadows, the coyotes we hear pine away at the moon, and the deer that frequent our corn can feeders.   My husband and I have raised three children on this farm and, luckily, we now have time for wildlife conservation as well.  We have many acres of land dedicated to Pheasants Forever habitat and food plots.  We release bobwhite quail and ringneck pheasants each year --and we've had a lot of them survive.  We have whole stands of evergreen trees that were planted to help rabbits, squirrels, deer and God's other creatures survive the harsh Michigan winters.
 

There is a great children's book on the market called, "The Goat Lady" about an old woman who the townspeople didn't understand or appreciate.  This old woman raised big, white dairy goats that were scattered on her front yard and back porch.  She was the "butt" of jokes and misunderstandings among the people because she was older than dirt and wore worn out clothes.  She had a worn out house and a barn that matched.  She didn't keep up with the Jones family so she was an outcast.  Until one day an artist came to town and painted her with her goat herd.  Those paintings were put on display in an art gallery out east and they helped explain to  everyone that she was raising her goats for donation to Heifer International.   Goat's milk had helped her when she was a small child in her native country.  It is a true story and The Goat Lady is our inspiration.

      We work hard every day to enjoy what we have, share it with others, and we are trying to breed a few excellent quality animals.  We are doing our best to give back to Mother Nature here, through our conservation efforts, and abroad, through Heifer Int'l, to mothers around the world.  Please sit a spell with us and click on our different pages.  We hope to entertain, educate and provide enjoyment to our readers.
