Our Commitment to Milk Testing & Quality
The health of our goats and the quality of our milk is always our top priority. That’s why we go above and beyond by combining routine on-farm testing with regular lab screenings through two independent laboratories.
We use a quick and reliable on-farm test during milking that helps us spot early changes in goat health or milk quality. This allows us to take immediate action if something seems off.
In addition, we send milk samples twice every month to two separate, independent laboratories. Each lab runs a comprehensive screening, including a PCR Complete 16 panel that looks for 16 common bacteria, a Somatic Cell Count that shows udder health, and targeted tests for harmful germs like Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter, and Mycoplasma. They also run a Total Bacteria Plate Count to measure the milk’s overall cleanliness and freshness.
Milking & Sanitation Practices
We take pride in how our milk is handled on the farm. Goats are milked in a clean, low-stress environment using only Grade-A stainless steel equipment. Udders are washed and inspected before each session, and milk is filtered and chilled to 36 degrees immediately to preserve quality and freshness.
All milking equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between every use to ensure the highest standards of safety and hygiene.
Herd Care
Our goats are raised on natural pastures free of chemicals, weed killers, or fertilizers. They have 24/7 access to pasture, minerals, and hay, with alfalfa, sunflower seeds, and high-quality feed provided to our milking goats. We know healthier, happier goats naturally produce better quality milk.
Annual Herd Testing
In addition to daily monitoring and routine lab testing, our herd is tested each year for CAE and Johnes disease. This adds another layer of reassurance and helps us keep our herd strong, healthy, and thriving.
Our Promise
For our customers, this means peace of mind: you can trust that the milk we produce is held to high standards and backed by consistent testing both on the farm and in the lab. For our goats, it means early insight into herd health so we can keep them strong and thriving.
Our commitment is simple — healthy goats, clean milk, and confidence you can count on.
