Her farm, and her equipment, are below sub par. She is satisfied with just barely passing inspections. There are holes, in her fences, that the goats escape through most of the time. Alot of her baby goats have tetanus because of her, and her workers, refusing to properly clean up the waste from their pens. This same problem leads to alot of her goats having parasites. She runs away good workers and hires convicts.
My only complaints is the price at the co-op (which may or may not reflect the price from the farm) at $9.95 for a HALF gallon...ouch. Despite the website stating that wholesale purchases can be arranged direct from the farm, I have emailed them to set up a regular (weekly pick up) and have not gotten a reponse. This would be the only reason they dont get 5 stars.
I have dietary concerns that prohibit me from drinking cows milk or pastuerized milk. Having recently discovered this, I made the switch to raw goats milk from St. John Creamery. Wonderful in taste and in health benefits for me. Since I can't continue to buy milk for $20/gallon, I will be getting my own miniature goats to produce milk for me. Thanks to the delicious milk from St. John Creamery, I have improved health and plans to add little goat pals to our backyard. Hope my backyard hens dont mind the newcomers too much. I will NEVER drink pasteurized milk again (and certainly no cows milk).
