We also produce raw goat milk, kefir, yogurt, goat cheese and bring raw cow milk and milk products from a Jersey Dairy in Myakka City which compliments our own goat product line. Our goats receive a few grains at milking time but currently we are making the preparations to transition to fodder by sprouting our own barley. We also have quail eggs. We attend Saturday Morning Market (saturdaymorningmarket.com) in St. Petersburg Oct - May and if they have a summer market we are part of that. Also on Sundays you can find us at Sweetwater Organic Farm (sweetwater-organic.org) for their market from noon until 4pm. We pride ourselves in providing a quality product but please remember, while we drink and eat our products, we can only sell to you for pet consumption only due to Florida raw milk laws. All our products are in new containers and we only recycle egg cartons. Our milk products are all raw and our eggs are unwashed (all eggs in the stores are washed in a chemical solution) and ungraded. We also offer pickups at the farm on Wednesdays noon until dark BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. We regret that we can no longer offer tours for the kids due to insurance regulations. Sad, but the only way we can continue our existence as a few bad apples spoiled the entire experience! We are glad to answer any questions you might have regarding our farming experience!
