Wintergreen Acres

Wintergreen Acres breeds fainting (myotonic) goats in Cove City, NC, Craven County and the Neuse River area near New Bern. Owned by Brandon Ipock, the farm follows responsible breeding guidelines developed by national goat associations and maintains regular health screenings including vaccination, parasite management, and hoof care to promote strong, healthy stock. Each kid is born and raised on gently rolling pastures, where daily handling and early exposure to varied terrain help encourage a calm, adaptable disposition and build resilience.

A shaded hillside pasture offers natural shelter, fresh water sources, and room for exploratory grazing amidst native grasses, bushes, and climbing structures that support natural foraging behavior. Wintergreen Acres goats are often selected for small-scale homesteads, educational farm programs, and therapeutic farm visits, valued for their easygoing nature and consistent health record. Visitors note the welcoming barn atmosphere and goats’ steady demeanor, reflecting the farm’s deliberate, animal-centered approach to breeding and husbandry.
