Kirsten Lie-nielsen

Kirsten Lie-Nielsen raises dairy cross goats at Hostile Valley Farm in Liberty, Maine, a one-hundred-acre homestead in the midcoast region, roughly an hour from Bangor. Kirsten and her partner Patrick Jackson took on the property in 2015 after it had sat abandoned for several decades, clearing overgrown fields and restoring the barn and farmhouse before bringing in livestock.

Goats were among the first animals to arrive, with the herd growing to reflect the farm's broader focus on sustainable, permaculture-based agriculture. The operation uses heritage breed animals as part of a working homestead that also includes poultry and an extensive orchard of heritage apple varieties suited to Maine's climate. Those looking for dairy cross goats in Maine will find the program rooted in hands-on, small-scale farming rather than commercial production.

Kirsten is also a published author on homesteading topics, and the farm serves as a practical example of the self-reliant approach she writes about.
