We do not homogenize our milk. That means the cream in it will rise to the top. Shake it up, or just scoop out the cream and enjoy it!
It is all whole milk with about 4% fat content.
It is pasteurized.
Yogurt of course! Rich, creamy, tangy goat milk yogurt. Goat milk naturally makes a yogurt which has a thinner consistency than cow milk and we don't add anything to change that when we add pure maple syrup to the yogurt to make a goat milk Maple Smoothie which is surprisingly refreshing to drink. The plain yogurt is thickened with some tapioca flour and is great to make a savory sauce with herbs for meat, fish or fresh vegetables. Or eat it straight over granola or fresh fruit. Use it as a base for a cold summer soup (cucumber?).We've been putting it in the blender with frozen fruit for a smoothie. Yum....
Milk. Our pasteurized goat milk is delicious. We often get compliments on how good it is. Goat milk is naturally partially homogenized & is easily digestible, especially for those who may be sensitive to cow's milk. It also is lower in cholesterol than cows milk. We have regular and chocolate. mmmmm...... The chocolate is made with cocoa powder, cane sugar and pure vanilla.
Cheese. We make some great chevre from our milk. Smooth and spreadable on crackers, in sandwiches, on homemade raisin bread, spread in celery sticks, eaten with a spoon....
Or we have a feta style cheese, and some salad sprinkles which we call Does and Little Kids - in honor of our hardworking girls. Even people who claim they don't like feta say they like ours! Those Little Kids certainly work well thrown into an omelet.
Some of our goat milk products.
Soap. Goat milk makes a moisturizing soap. We make ours with the cold process method which can take up to 4 to 5 weeks to cure. There are scented and unscented soaps. Made to use- not just to prop up in your bathroom as a decoration! There is also shaving soap in a proper Polymeadows Farm shaving mug. Melvin's been tempted to shave off his beard just to use it.
Our goat milk soap is creamy and moisturizing. It comes scented or
unscented in a decorative bar or just plain soap.
Goat milk yogurt is naturally thinner in texture than cow milk yogurt & also a bit tangier. The strained yogurt cheese makes a great lower calorie substitute for sour cream or in dips. Also good mixed with fruit.
