Al Maloney & Nancy Williams NEWAIM Farm was founded in 1999. Nancy and I had both been working for a defense contractor for nearly 30 years and it was time for something different. We decided that running a small farm would be a good lifestyle change. NEWAIM Farm began with 3 bred female alpacas. We have maintained a herd of around 25 alpacas for the last several years. In 2003 I left my day job to concentrate my efforts on running the farm and my web design business, Dog Bone Designs. We added a fiber processing mill to the farm in 2005 and Nancy left her job to run the mill full time. We work at being as self sufficient as possible here on the farm. We grow most of our own vegetables and keep a couple of bee hives for honey and pollination. The house is heated with wood harvested from the property. Most of our buildings are constructed from logs cut from our land and sawed at my neighbor's saw mill. We have a few chickens for eggs, but we didn't a way of producing meat for our table. That all changed in the fall of 2007! While we were exhibiting at the Common Ground Fair, I decided that Boer goats were the answer and within a few days arranged to purchase 10 does and 2 bucks. They arrived at the farm 4 weeks later. October was a rather busy month! Most of these does kidded in January bringing us to 23 goats. In March I order 10 more does and the rest as they say, is history. Our goats and alpacas are raised in a natural setting with shelter from the elements and acres of woods and fields for browsing. Farm visits are welcomed by appointment. Call 207 832-5162 or email al@newaim.com to schedule your visit. We look forward to seeing you. |

Both Peter and Wendy are true pioneers in the development of the North American Cashmere Goat as a breed, and both are well known and respected for their goat husbandry training programs, livestock judging clinics, and leadership in small farm development and animal welfare. |
