Mini Acres

Mini Acres, fainting (myotonic) goat breeder, Dover-Foxcroft, ME, is located in Piscataquis County and the central Maine region near Bangor. Its owner, Jennifer Dow, follows recognized breed standards, maintains membership in the American Dairy Goat Association, and ensures regular genetic health screening, hoof trimming, and vaccination schedules.

Kids spend daylight hours grazing on rotational pastures rich in clover and native grasses, and enjoy organized early socialization with family members, local schools, and other farm animals. Goats shelter in roomy, clean barns equipped with fresh pine bedding, automatic waterers, and raised hay racks to support hygiene and comfort through every season.

As a small family homestead, Mini Acres emphasizes gentle handling, hands-on care, and daily observations that guide each animal’s training and temperament development. Feedback collected at county fairs, agricultural workshops, and 4-H events highlights the herd’s calm confidence and reflects the farm’s steady involvement in community education.
