| The Dairy
When the North Carolina Department of Agriculture granted our goat dairy license in 1996, one of only a handful in the state, it was only natural for us to take the name "Goat Lady Dairy." Ginnie raised  goats as a hobby for many years and was affectionately known by her friends and customers as "the Goat Lady." Our name also signifies to us that our goats are ladies with gentility, grace and individual character! Our herd consists of three breeds: the pure white Saanen, the long-eared Nubian and the multi-colored French Alpine dairy goats. We keep a herd of only 50-75 goats in order to maintain maximum herd health and keep our operation simple. We follow the natural dairy cycle, milking for ten months of the year, breeding in the fall and kidding in early spring. Mid-December to mid-February is our "Sabbath" time when goats and farmers rest, rejuvenate and prepare for the next cycle. Each spring we sell more than 100 purebred baby goats for family herds.
