Sunflower Farm Creamery

Nigerian Dwarf Dairy

[Open to the Public for free visiting Saturdays 11-5 from May 23rd-October 31st 2024.]

Welcome to Sunflower Farm - where all the romance of farm life is still very much a reality. Looking for delicious local cheese made in small daily batches? You have come to the right place. May-October, our feta, chevre, yogurt, caramels, fudge, truffles and cajeta are available in our self serve farm shop. Come check out what is available, then relax a bit and watch the goats grazing in the field.

We smile when folks visiting ask us if all the goats have names. Not only do they all have names, they all have distinct calls we know even from the kitchen, they each have preferences for their favorite treats, and places they most love to be scratched. In the milkroom, each mama has their own approach to our time together: Plum likes to be milked without her head closed in to the head gate. Belle insists that she be milked one side at a time. After Rhubarb is milked, she waits on the milk stand for a few minutes of love before she is ready to hop down and go about her day. And Sweet Pea looks right at our kitchen window and calls us to the barn each morning while we are getting our coffee brewed.

There are lots of hot words in the sustainable food movement. Some mean very different things depending on who is using them and for what purpose, but for us, “local” dairy products are unique because each bite is intimately connected to the way the animals at our farm live. Even a town over, the goats are eating different grass, enjoying a different breeze, their milk is not from Claire and Radish and Cinnamon. We find great joy in sharing our lovely goats with visitors so that when they eat our chèvre or feta or yogurt or caramels, they taste even better because they are remembering a sunny summer day in the field with our herd. Hopefully you can taste the love.

Taking care of ourselves, powering up our physical strength, and even surrendering to relaxation are all acts of boldness in today's hectic world. If you are looking to recharge and refocus on your unique inner strength, what better place to do it than among goats? All hour long farm yoga classes are $10. per person and goat snuggles after if you need more time with the herd. Please arrive 10 minutes early to settle in and pull all the way behind barn to park. We have folding chairs, let us know if you prefer to practice seated or to use one for balance. We also have some extra mats if you are traveling and need to borrow one.

Farm Yoga Instructor: Hope Hall

As a high school English teaching veteran (30 years), Nigerian Dwarf Goat Farmer and Dairy Owner (15 years) and yoga teacher (8 years), Hope Hall believes her passion for all these jobs is rooted in her desire to see connections instead of barriers. Hope completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training program in 2017 with Sacred Seeds and now leads yoga at the farm where sometimes up to 80 people gather in the field to downward dog with goats and try goat cheese and snuggle babies after practice. Her classroom, farm, and yoga classes have allowed Hall to create small spaces where people can come together to celebrate what makes us feels most human.
