CRYSTAL BROOK FARM is a pristine, award winning New England farmstead where owners Ann Starbard makes goat cheese. The herd of 70 Alpine, Saanen and La Mancha dairy goats produce all the milk used in the goat cheese operation. Thus purity, quality and freshness is consistently controlled.
The goat cheese is a natural product. The animals receive high quality feed, with free access to green pastures and seasonal browse. These details yield an abundant quantity of fresh milk that is free of antibiotic residue and synthetic hormones.
Circular sawn lumber is also produced on the farm by Eric Starbard, owner. He operates a 1920's Lane sawmill. Custom sawing is also available. Wide pine planks for flooring and old building projects is available as well as odd dimension beams of various tree species.

Happy Spring! Our on farm store is open Wednesday - Sunday, 7 am - 7 pm. Stop by to visit the goats - lots of babies around - and pick up some fresh SPRING goat cheese. creamy, light, packed with spring flavors of the new milk. The goats.. and the farmers..are anxiously awaiting the GREEN light of growth in the pastures. Faint green appearing here and there as the snow drifts are becoming a memory.
Our first market is in Amherst - beginning Saturday, April 19. See you there!
