Goat Herd
Our first goats were purchased in the late 1980’s when we moved from the farms on which we were raised in the
San Francisco Bay Area to Cottonwood. They have been selectively bred since that time and at present are very
healthy, hearty, and long lived. They tend to be a larger goat that will produce on average of over a gallon per day
throughout her ten month lactation.

Our goats are born here on the farm and we do not purchase outside stock. New genetics are brought in through
the use of artificial insemination. Through the use of AI, our herd has evolved into the productive group working
with us today.
 North
Valley Farms Chèvre has earned the Animal Welfare Approved
Seal. This is not an easy certification to achieve. The
program requires the animals to be grazed on a small family
farm with the family still providing the labor to milk and
care for the animals. More information about the program can
be found at the
Animal Welfare Approved website.
