Spencer's Farm is surrounded by creeks and woods nestled in the, beautiful, hills of Tennessee.
It's an ideal place for raising goats. Twenty acres is plenty of room for goats to roam around.
Our goats have heroic temperaments, beautiful colors and provide fresh milk!
Dairy goats are one of the most historical, versatile, and efficient forms of livestock production throughout the world!
Goat dairies operate on a much smaller-scale, are less costly to operate, and more efficient compared to dairy cow operations. They're environmentally friendly.
Although, dairy goats are known for their milk production efficiencies, their milk offers health benefits and value-added opportunities, too! Most owners will tell you that no animal is more cute and friendly!
Alpine and Saanen goats produce the milk used in Spencer's Farm natural bath and body products, including: goats milk soap lotions, bath salts, face cream, foot scrubs and more! Why do we use goats milk in our homemade skin care products? Fresh goats milk offers multiple skin care benefits! Spencer's Farm raises, full blood, Alpine and Saanen goats.

1. Goats were first domesticated in the Zagros Mountains of Iran approx. 10,000 years ago.
2. Goat milk is a major source of milk worldwide. Goats' milk may be drunk by people who are allergic to cows' milk, but it contains lactose, so it is not for the lactose intolerant.
3. The major difference between cow's milk and goat's milk is goat's milk has smaller fat globules than cow's milk, which makes it naturally homogenized and more easily digestible than cow's milk.
4. Dairy goats give three to four quarts of milk during a 305-day lactation.
5. Goats can be housebroken and trained to walk on a leash.
6. Goats will not eat soiled food or drink contaminated water. They like to eat the tips of woody shrubs or trees and occasionally the broad-leaf plant.
7. There are some hornless goats, but most have horns. Some have up to eight horns.
