More digestible than cow milk yogurt and less processed than plant-based, our goat milk yogurts and kefirs are rich in essential nutrients like protein and calcium and packed with billions of probiotics.
More than ever, we’re aware of how our food choices impact the health of our planet and our communities. Goats provide a delicious, real-milk option but with a considerably lighter hoofprint than their bovine counterparts.
We source all of our milk from Certified Humane® farms owned by families who take pride in being stewards of their land and their herds.

Wattles are sometimes called “bells” or “skin tags”. They serve no purpose and are believed to be a genetic trait left over from evolution.
At Redwood Hill Farm a twin who returned to the farm after being gone for nearly two years, quickly found her twin sister, and the two are best friends in the barn—browsing and resting together every day. Pictured here are LaMancha triplet kids—who naturally have distinctive and very short ears.
At two weeks old, kids are fearlessly agile, running and leaping for fun.
The “kid pile” is a common sight in the barn nursery, as they curl up with with each other for companionship and warmth.
Our farm staff, friends, and family members cherish these sweet, slow moments with the goat kids.
