Goat's Milk...The Real Deal!
(Here is where I will get up on the soap box and do some preaching.)
So many visitors come to the farm and ooh and ahhh while enjoying the goats and particularly love the undeniably cute kids (both goat and human) and think the whole experience is blissful until they are offered their first taste of goat's milk. Suddenly there are a lot of excuses and stuttering that takes place attempting to think of reason not to try this delicious and healthful drink. Goat's milk is WONDERFUL if it and the doe that it is coming from are managed properly. At our home most cannot taste a difference between goat's milk and cow's milk and when given the choice to choose which one they prefer, they choose the goat's milk. Did you know that a vast amount of the world's milk is from goats? Did you also know that goat's milk is much easier for your body to digest? What about commercial store bought milk...Do you know where your milk comes from? How fresh is the milk in that pretty white jug? Are you aware of the living conditions of the animals that produce your milk? Do you know what they are fed? What about how many animal's milk have contributed to a single gallon of your milk? Hmmmm.... A lot to think about and much of the time people don't give it much thought. We know what and how much our animals have eaten, how they have been treated, and how they have been handled. We also know how fresh our milk is and that it is a whole and healthful food!

Ahhhh Cheese!
We enjoy making traditional goat cheese (Chevre) as well as Mozzarella, Queso, Parmesan, Farmers, Ricotta, and Herbed. We are always looking to learn a new recipe!!
We join together with other local families to offer half day cheese workshops annually! It is a fast paced beginners course to get new cheese makers off to a good start. We always have a good time meeting new families interested in whole foods in NWA.
Give us a call or send an email so that we can add you to our interest / contact list!
We are talking about doing another workshop in late July or August 2014.. contact me via email for details [email protected]

Next Best thing to Mother's Milk:
We freeze both milk and colostrum for rescues! Goats milk is the universal milk choice for orphans.
We always keep some for our own emergency use so please call ahead if you know you will have a need as our freezer space comes at a premium!
Rescuing orphans can be dangerous and should be done by a pro. Please consult your veterinarian.
