The Goats
We have a herd of 70+ mixed-breed goats. More or less a “melting pot” of goat breeds: we have La Mancha, Alpine, Nubian, Toggenburg and even Boer. They are smart, inquisitive and incredibly affectionate creatures that have stolen our hearts. Each of our goats has a unique name, and yes: we recognize all of them and know all their names. We can even recognize their bleat! Caring for and interacting with our goats is perhaps the most rewarding part of our experience as “goat parents”.
We do not breed our goats annually, we do not separate goat kids from their mothers, and we have a no-cull philosophy. For that reason, we don’t slaughter goats for meat, and older and special needs goats get to live long happy goat lives at the farm. Every single one of our 70+ goats is treated like a pet, because that is the only way that we know how to treat animals.
We make cheese and use the whey left over from cheese production to make whey crackers, and we also make goat cheese mousse. When you buy any of our products, you’re helping us care for the goats with your business.
You can meet our goats during our farm dinners or farm tours, or you can book a private tour. For more information, please contact sandra@elodiefarms.com.
