Want to Know About Us? Welcome to Spencer's Farm!

Hello,

Are you looking for facts about us? My name is Sydne Spencer. My husband, Robert, and I own Spencer’s Farm.

Spencer’s Farm is hidden away in a tiny community of Taft, Tennessee. We have twenty acres of land with a variety of goats. Our twenty acre farm is surrounded by creeks, and woods. We consider it an ideal place for raising goats.

Our dairy goats, Alpine and Saanen are tall, angular, and put most of their energy reserves into milk production. They are bony breeds, but they are amazingly productive.

Spencer's Farm raises full blood Alpine and Saanen goats because of their beautiful colors, heroic temperaments and awesome milk!

Consider that a single good dairy goat on my farm will produce a gallon of milk a day for most of the summer, I calculate that I get an average of 150 gallons of milk from each goat every year. I milk until I am ready to breed my dairy goats for the next season. So, I give my goats about 5 months off every year to wander around the farm and eat, and incubate their little kids so they will make milk for the next year. Then, I let their babies have free accesses to their mama’s milk for ½ the day, and I separate them ½ the day to let milk collect, and I get that. When they're old enough to sell, then I get all the milk.

We make about 100 bars of goat milk soap at a time. We make a batch of goats milk soap at least every other week all year long.

Besides soap, we handcraft a variety of healthful, nourishing, mild and gentle products including homemade: lotion, lip balm, foot scrubs, face cream, shampoo and bath salts.

All of our products are made with a paraben-free preservative.

We also offer a mild and gentle bar soap for pets. It cleanses and repels fleas for a wonderful shampoo.

Besides goats, Spencer’s Farm also has about 2 dozen chickens so we can have fresh eggs. We have 3 guard dogs on the farm to protect the animals. Livestock guardian dogs are amazing animals. They are raised with the goats from puppy hood and take care of them as if they were part of the family.
