The goats behind our award winning cheese are happily munching on pasture. They can retreat into the shade whenever they like and no hormones or antibiotics are used. In fact, every batch of milk is tested to ensure that no antibiotics are present. Laura personally visits the dairy farm at least 3 times per year. Together with the dairy farmer they plan for next year’s anticipated milk production needs which translates into how many goats the farmer needs. Right now the herd consists of La Mancha, Nubian, Alpine, Saanen, and some Oberhasli and Toggenburg goats. Breed variety ensures there are goats producing milk year round and allows for breaks in breeding so the animals may have a rest period. Happy goats make the best tasting cheese.
