We had never experienced goat milk, as a matter of fact, we hadn't been regular milk consumers for years. We were drinking nut and rice milks because, quite frankly, we knew pasteurized milk offered little to no health benefits, even if you buy organic. The government wants people to consume pasteurized milk. We could go into our theory of why but the bottom line is what will serve YOUR body and health? Everybody is different and reacts differently to nutrition. We have a increase in autoimmune disease what can each of do to gift our body what increases our immune system and health? 

We have #teamvalentine goat girls who gift us extraordinary milk. 

Milk does the body good. 

In training as a holistic health coach studies in the history and controversy of raw milk were offered. We have been advocates and teachers of whole, raw food for years so when we decided to have a milking goat, and actually drinking the milk, we developed first hand experience on how delicious it is and how our bodies felt after consuming it. Over the past year of enjoying the milk ourselves, talking with other raw and pasteurized milk dairies we have also had several guests stay who have traveled outside the US and have raved about the health benefits of raw milk. We are sold! And now because of our production we are able to offer shares!

People who come to Sage View Ranch have the opportunity to walk with the goats. when we take them out to graze twice a day. Interestingly enough they don't eat everything. They prefer alfalfa, elm tree leaves and apricot leaves that grow here. We think Valentine's milk is the sweetest because she is addicted to apricot leaves and when they are ripe she eats them but spits out the pit. And she teaches her girls the same. 

Goats are very smart and they can be trained to some degree. Our girls love hanging out and walking with us. They also love meeting people.  People who experience goat milk can hardly get over how amazing it tastes. We feel it has everything to do with her meeting and enjoying a variety of people, having such a grazing variety here on the property, along with her daily healthy meal which includes coconut oil, body balance supplement, black sunflower seeds and a few other things.  Yep, she is spoiled and so are her girls.
