About the Farm
Background
Youngs Prairie Dairy has established itself as a trusted source of high-quality raw goat milk, priding itself on the personal care and attention given to each of its Nubian and Alpine goats. The dairy is known for its commitment to producing fresh, clean milk, even adapting its sales methods during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure safety and cleanliness.
Practices
The dairy operates on a holistic philosophy, eschewing the use of herbicides and fertilizers. The goats are fed a diet that includes alfalfa, grass hay, grain, and foraging, with a special emphasis on GMO-free feed sourced from a local organic feed mill, Coyote Creek. Each goat is personally named and lovingly cared for.
The Rest
Milk is sold over the gate to maintain cleanliness and safety. The dairy offers Grade A raw goat milk at $12.00 per half-gallon jug. Visitors are encouraged to text or call to make an appointment before visiting.
