Heavenly Pines Family Farm

Heavenly Pines Family Farm is raising fainting (myotonic) goats in Franklin Grove, IL, located in Lee County near Rockford. With more than a decade of small-scale dairy goat breeding, it is a member of the American Dairy Goat Association and follows established health-testing protocols through recognized dairy goat associations. Housed in pasture-based paddocks with seasonal rotation, its animals have open access to shelter, fresh forage, and clean water, and each kid receives daily gentle handling to support early socialization.

The farm also takes part in local 4-H activities and county fairs, sharing knowledge on basic goat care with neighbors and visitors. Under the care of Brian Treadwell, the herd stays in family-operated barns that reflect the farm’s longstanding agricultural roots. Careful record keeping and quarterly wellness checks help maintain herd health, and many owners note the goats’ calm disposition around children and other livestock. Consistency in daily routines and openness about breeding goals foster trust within the wider northern Illinois community.
