Erin Heigelmann

Erin Heigelmann breeds Nigerian dwarf goats in Machias, Maine, in Washington County and the Downeast region near Bangor. Her herd is registered with the American Dairy Goat Association and undergoes regular health screenings for common dairy diseases. Kids are raised in a free-range paddock adjacent to a farmhouse, with daily handling to support calm temperaments and early social bonds.

Adult goats graze on mixed grasses and clover pasture, supplemented by locally sourced hay and mineral mixes. Three Monkies Farm has its roots in a small family homestead and brings that hands-on tradition to every stage of animal care. Recent visitors note the welcoming barn environment and how quietly goats settle into routines at feeding and milking times. Erin prioritizes clear lineage records and matches each kid to families mindful of the breed’s dairy and show qualities. Health records accompany each animal, reflecting a commitment to transparency and long-term well-being.
