Goldin Artisan Goat Cheese ~ The Milking Ladies ~


The fresh milk  is in its purest form, free of growth hormones or antibiotics.  From liquid form, the milk is transformed into a solid and the result is wonderful goat cheeses!

The supply of goat’s milk gradually increases starting in the spring, peaks around the summer solstice and then dips in the fall.  However, the lower yield of milk in the fall is compensated by a higher butterfat content.

The Alpine goats are  selectively crossbred to yield healthy and good milk producers.  They browse on pasture and brush and are supplemented with Eastern Oregon premium alfalfa for its high selenium and calcium content. Their grain mixture does not contain hormones or antibiotics. The kids are born in the spring and are hand raised to enjoy human contact and eventually name recognition.  The herd is kept small to be well managed and pampered.
