Our Goats

About our goats

When we bought our first small herd of goats more than 20 years ago, we had no idea how much we would fall in love with these personable, gentle animals.

Certified Humane

We have always been committed to our goats’ health and well-being and are formally verified as Certified Humane® — because we think that milk from happy, healthy goats is just better.

During the summer, you’ll usually find our goats lounging in the shade inside of our spacious open barns, where large fans circulate air and keep temperatures cool.

Open doors give our goats freedom to go outside whenever they choose. When things get wet or chilly, we provide our animals with fresh, warm bedding and partially close the sides of our barns to keep the space dry. But even during the winter, we always leave a few doors open for the curious goats who still want to explore.

Our dairy offers lots of room for our goats to engage in their natural behaviors.

Running, jumping, and playing. Goats love to explore, so we are constantly trying to stay ahead of their mischievousness. All of our baby goats are hand-raised and provided with opportunities to run, play, and socialize as they grow up.

Each breed of goat has its own unique characteristics — which contribute to the great flavor of Summerhill Goat Milk.
