Kiwidinok Farm

Kiwidinok Farm is a yak breeder in Boyne City, MI, in Charlevoix County near Traverse City. Jim Dixon has been raising yaks for several years and follows recommended health screening practices to ensure strong, resilient herds. The farm’s yaks graze on open pasture and have constant access to shelter, with daily handling routines that support calm temperaments.

Kiwidinok Farm places emphasis on early socialization, allowing each yak to become accustomed to human interaction from a young age. Dixon keeps detailed breeding records and works with regional networks to share best practices. The herd is also managed with an eye toward fiber quality, selecting animals that yield soft, durable fleece. One fiber artist described the fleece as a pleasure to work with for its softness and consistency. Situated on 50 acres of rolling fields, the farm offers a balanced setting where yaks thrive across all seasons.
