Question 4

I don't like goat milk because it smells/tastes funny or I am lactose intolerant...  why is goat milk so special?

Accepted Answer

Great question!  Some cultures really enjoy the pungent aroma that can occur with some goat milk and related products and that is great for those that enjoy it!
 
Here at Front Porch Farm we are committed to sweet, fresh and creamy milk -and take many steps to ensure there is no "goaty" taste or smells.  Our milk is quickly processed into sanitized stainless steel holding tank and chilled, reducing off tastes.  Our bucks (male goats)  are not close to our doe barn thereby reducing the chances of the does picking up the scent and expressed in the milk! Further, the health of our herd is our top priority, which ensures lovely milk!

Goat milk is also naturally homogenized, with smaller fat particles making it easier for some to digest!  There are many people who cannot drink cow's milk and have no problems drinking goat milk!  Check out this link http://adga.org/general-information/ for more information!
