Ascending Pines Farm

Ascending Pines Farm is a breeder of Kiko goats in Smelterville, ID, in Shoshone County and the Silver Valley near Coeur d'Alene. Stephanie Szanyiszlo has over a decade of experience with small ruminants and maintains active membership in the American Kiko Goat Association, ensuring each animal meets rigorous health-testing standards.

Kids and adults alike enjoy regular socialization sessions on the pasture, where goats graze on diverse grasses and receive individual attention. The farm’s tranquil setting at the base of the Silver Mountains offers ample space for natural foraging and shelter built to withstand Idaho winters. Each goat is evaluated for structural soundness and gentle temperament before joining the herd or moving to new homes. Stephanie’s thoughtful approach has earned several positive reviews for consistency and animal well-being.

The farm keeps detailed health records, including routine hoof care, parasite monitoring and nutrition plans tailored to each age group. The goats live in a mixed flock that emphasizes gentle interactions and trust building.
