About Us
Located in the Bristol Hills of Western New York State, SM3Pines Farm saw its beginnings in 1996 as a hobby farm specializing in waterfowl. At that time, the "farm" was known as Stonegate Waterfowl. Shortly after our waterfowl "thing" was established, we took on the added challenge of breeding top quality Exhibition poultry... Black Australorps, Pekin Ducks, and Canada Geese specifically, though we tried many different breeds to see what we liked the best. 1998 saw the addition of a Whitetail buck and the first of my goat herd. Thus, the beginning of Stonegate Meadows as more of a farm, rather than just a property name. Today, SM3Pines Farm specializes in the breeding of Top Quality Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats, Alpines, and Miniature Alpines for milk and show, and High Quality Arabians for Endurance, Trail, and the show ring.
Now for a bit about "Us". :)
My name is Stacy Brockett, my husband is Ken, and our daughter is Riana. I'm a stay at home mom, and run the "farm" bit. I handle all the management, chores, and all that.
Riana helps me with the chores by feeding the dogs
and helping carry flakes of hay to the pens... I couldn't get her to
stop if I wanted to! She makes a bit of a mess, but she enjoys what
she's doing anyway. ;) She's also learning how to milk "her" goat
Pattie Sue, and ride her Arab mare, Imaana.
Ken has a small machine and welding shop in "his"
barn, as well as working full time for the Town of Canandagiua Highway
crew, and as an Adjunct Faculty member at the local college, where he
teaches Martial Arts. He also helps out with the maintence of the farm,
doing some construction, hay runs, and helping me clean the pens.
We are owned by two
dogs, Keeper - my AKC Yellow
lab female, and Gus, our Livestock
Guardian. Five cats, Puma, Wrangler, Levi, Midnight, and
Sparkle Tangerine. Our Horses, Hu-Imaana,
