Farm Tour
Ever wondered how everything gets made at Goat Milk Stuff? Or wondered how the goats and other animals are fed and cared for? Come and visit the farm and get a behind-the scenes look at the complex operations and interactions of a working dairy farm that also manufacturers many products made with goat milk!
Please understand that you do not need to pay for a tour to enjoy Goat Milk Stuff. Tickets for a Baby Goat Experience will allow you to spend 25 minutes in the pen with the baby goats. The Farm Store has lots of goat milk skincare products available for purchase and goat milk treats to sit and enjoy. You can see some of our goats in the pasture by the parking lot. The tour provides you with extras and explanations beyond what you can see on your own.
During the tour you will see:
-
Where the soap is made. We will explain how soap is made and show you where it happens. Soap may or may not be actually being made during your tour.
-
Where the soap is unmolded and cut. You can walk through this area and see how the soap is unmolded and cut. There is always lots of soap to be seen on the curing racks.
-
Where the soap is bagged. How we bag the soap is explained. If there is soap available for bagging, just ask and we'll let you bag a few bars.
-
Where the soap and stuff is shipped. We'll explain how we package orders and ship them worldwide.
-
The Candy Kitchen. Through the windows you will be able to see (and possibly smell) where all of the yummy caramels are made. You can see our vintage 1965 caramel wrapping machine (painted red, of course!).
-
The Goat Barn. You'll see the stalls where the goats live and where the baby goats are fed their milk.
-
The Milk Barn. We'll show you where and how we milk the goats and what we do with the milk. Goats are not available for milking at this time.
-
The Goats. You'll get to meet some of the goats and learn about how they are raised, what they eat, and how they live.
-
The Garden. Eating healthy foods is important to us (that's why we got the goats in the first place - for their healthy milk). The garden is a huge part of our lifestyle and the working mechanics of the farm.
-
The Chickens and Rabbits. Our chickens and rabbits help keep our gardens healthy and are a great way to recycle all of our food scraps and garden waste. Backyard chicken eggs are an amazing addition to a healthy diet.
-
The Family. One of the Jonases will be your tour guide (unless we're on vacation) so you'll get to meet some (if not all) of The Jonas family as you tour Goat Milk Stuff!
