Grazy Acres is a small, family-run farm in Midcoast Maine, where goats, hard work, and a little bit of chaos come together in the best possible way.

What started as a handful of goats has grown into a dynamic micro-dairy (coming soon!), show herd and land management operation, built around a carefully managed herd that includes a mix of our original (non-registered) goats, Oberhasli, Nigerian Dwarf, and one of the few registered Guernsey goat breeding programs in Maine and New England. Preserving and strengthening this rare and valuable breed is an important part of what we do—ensuring strong genetics, sustainability, and a future for small-scale dairy farming.

Life on an island shapes everything. At Grazy Acres, that means being resourceful, hands-on, and deeply connected to the land. Our goats aren’t just part of the farm—they’re part of the landscape. Through our goat rental program, we use managed grazing to clear overgrown land in an environmentally friendly way, turning thick brush into healthy, usable space.

We also produce a growing line of farm goods, from fresh chèvre, feta, and milk to handcrafted goat milk soaps and seasonal products. Every item reflects the same philosophy: simple, high-quality, and rooted in the place we call home.

Grazy Acres is more than a farm—it’s part of a larger working waterfront story. Alongside our sister business, Islesboro Oyster Co., we’re building a model of small-scale agriculture and aquaculture that works with the rhythms of the Maine coast, not against them.

Meet Kim & Anna:

Grazy Acres is led by Kim and her daughter Anna—a mother-daughter team rooted in hard work, creativity, and a deep connection to the land.

Kim is a lifelong entrepreneur who is always on the go. She is the former founder of a plumbing business on Islesboro, owns a communications consulting company, and is the force behind Islesboro Oyster Co. Her vision for Grazy Acres reflects a drive to build sustainable, resilient businesses that work in step with Maine’s coastal landscape.

Anna represents the next generation of farmers and fishermen. Always drawn to animals, she grew up lobstering with her dad, hunting, and working on the water. Today, she’s actively involved in Islesboro Oyster Co., continues to lobster, and is helping lead product innovation efforts—particularly around finding creative uses for invasive green crabs. On the farm, she plays a hands-on role in managing the herd and shaping the future of Grazy Acres.

Together, we’re building something that’s equal parts tradition and innovation while striving to raise healthy and happy animals, and keep things just the right amount of grazy.
