Nettle Meadow Farm Happy Goats - Great Cheese! Nettle Meadow Goat Farm is currently the home of more than 160 goats, four guard llamas, several chickens, and one very jocular horse. Our rescue sanctuary includes two ancient donkeys, a peacock, two turkeys, one very sweet jersey bull calf, several retired goats, and many young bucks waiting for good homes to become pets or brush goats.  Approximately 80 goats are milking at any one time and there are goats of all ages living on the farm. We have several juvenile and adolescent goats as well as a number of geriatric goats enjoying their retirement. The goats and other animals are housed in three large barns, including a brand new barn and an historic barn built in 1903. The new barn was built and the oldest barn is being restored by local craftsman, Ed Carpenter. Our four llamas, Eddy, Little Bit, Foonzie and Fancy keep an eye on our many goats morning, noon and night. The farm's four canines, Miltie, Maggie, Shasta, and Olive and felines, Zuzu, Bigger, Lindsay Jay, Teeny, and Shy-Ann pitch in however they can to add levity and chase away any unwanted critters. The goats' diet includes a variety of natural ingredients including organic hay, grains and wild herbs, rasberry leaf, garlic, and kelp for balanced nutrition. Farm tours are available for small groups depending on our availability. Tours of the cheese facility are not available at this time so that we can maintain a careful environment of humidity, temperature and cleanliness for our cheese.
