Goat Meat
Goat meat (also called Chevon) is consumed around the world more commonly than beef and it is delicious. For individuals who like the taste of venison, goat meat tastes very similar and is also an exteremly healthy food to eat.
We offer - 100% chemical-free, pasture-raised goat. Goats sold for meat range in age from 8 weeks to 9 months and are milk and pasture fed. We sell goat on the hoof only, weight ranging between 25 - 80 pounds. Buyers make their own processing arrangements. Early to late summer only. Order early, we sell out quickly. Please call for more information.

Our Oberhasli, Nubian & Saanen Dairy Goats
Oberhasli dairy goats are originally from Switzerland.
They are a rich reddish brown color with a black dorsal stripe, legs, belly, and face. Occasionally a black Oberhasli appears as a result of recessive genes. Black does are acceptable, black bucks are not and may not be registered. The breed is smaller in size than the other standard sized (i.e. full sized dairy goats) breeds, and production is also lower. Oberhasli have a gentle, sweet natured temperament.
Oberhasli are listed with the American Rare Breeds Conservancy and preservation efforts have been very positive especially over the past two decades. Quaker Hill Farm (ADGA, Hill Song Farm) was instrumental in bringing Oberhasli goats to Michigan in the 1980's, importing some of the very first Oberhasli to Michigan in 1985 from New England. Since then, we have delighted to watch their popularity grow knowing that we helped contribute to their preservation. Oberhasli have gone from the endangered list to the "watch list" by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.
Oberhasli are easy to manage as a herd due to their gentle nature and are very good milk producers. Plus, they are absolutely beautiful. Contact us for more information if interested in purchasing registered stock.
Saanen dairy goats are exceptional milkers.
They are white in color and are very docile and calm. Saanens are a great choice for homestead families who want maximum milk production and easy management in a home dairy project. Milk from Saanen goats is absolutely delicious and generally mildly sweet in flavor.
We have raised Saanens at Quaker Hill Farm since 1987 and have blood lines from some of the top milk producing herds in the United States.
We hope you enjoy our Internet site and welcome you to visit our Quaker Farm Shoppe where we look forward to serving you!
