Fresh RAW Goats Milk ;)

We (me and obviously the goats) have finally done it, it is here ready for you to come pick up. The girl's delicious all natural RAW goats milk is available for pick up on the farm. Most of the milk you will receive will come fresh from the doe. I have about 5 quarts available per day. The girl's milk is hand milked from our generous does twice daily. Strict sanitation rules are enforced, and milk is immediately chilled in the processing room after it leaves the doe.

A waiver is required to purchase this milk. My goats DO NOT receive any growth hormones, or production supplements. As the need may arise considering one of the does life was at stakes - I would however allow a veterinarian to preform the proper procedures required to save their life. In the event that any antibiotics must be used the milk will be disposed of per the withdrawal specifications.

My farm practices humane methods of farming as well as sustainable methods. All animals are treated with respect, compassion, and understanding. Each and every goat has a name, and many of them know it! The does are milked on a milk stand, crafted by me and my sister using lumber from our families old storage shed. Each doe is enticed onto the stand with half of their daily ration of grain. Does are fed free choice hay that is produced on local farms. We feed Premium Dairy Goat Pellets made regionally by Blue Seal Feeds, Inc.

The milk is available from our farm by appointment. I can be emailed at vtgoats@gmail.com. Best times to pick up milk is after morning milking (Before 6 am) or after the evening milking (7pm or later). Anytime on the weekends will do, and I will schedule pick ups on Tuesday afternoons as well. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time!
