Raising Kiko Goats Responsibly Since 2020
We are a 100% New Zealand and Purebred Kiko Goat farm in East Tennessee. We enjoy meeting new people interested in goats and welcome you to contact us with your questions and/or interests in our animals. Watch this drone video and see why we call our farm Joyful Oaks!
Our History
Hello, we are the Whedbee's; Michael, Beth, Caden, and Ava. I grew up helping my dad on the farm as he has raised Black Angus cattle since I was about 13. I learned many good lessons helping him on the farm (although I didn't always enjoy it as a teenager) but most importantly how to work hard for what you have. Now I have a family of my own and want to pass that on to my kids. In Late 2019 we were looking for a way to better utilize our farm and the land we had access to, as well as provide our family with a joint venture we all could enjoy. In early 2020 we started clearing some area and building a new barn and fencing for our goat farm. We choose Kiko's because of their strong maternal traits, their hardiness compared to some breeds, and their ability to be sold for meat if they do not meet breeding stock standards.
