Our goat milk comes exclusively from our family's farms in the Waikato region of New Zealand.

For generations, our family has been farming in New Zealand, and today our founder's sister leads the day-to-day running of the farms, continuing a tradition of producing premium goat dairy we're proud to share with families across the United States.

Our goats' diet consists of pasture plants like grass, clover, lucerne, plus hay and silage in the winter when fresh grass growth isn't optimal. All of this feed is grown and harvested on the farm to ensure quality and freshness. Occasionally, if the goats need to gain weight, they are given supplementary feeds like grain, but this is only in small amounts and for specific nutritional needs.

The primary goat breed we have are Saanen; we also have Toggenburg and British Alpine.

Yes, our goat milk is pasteurized in New Zealand as part of the drying process. This is legally required for export and public consumption in the United States. Pasteurization ensures safety while maintaining the natural nutritional benefits of the milk.

No, goat's milk is naturally more homogeneous than cow's milk due to a higher percentage of smaller fat globules, so it does not need to be homogenized. This means the milk remains in its natural state, without the need for additional processing.

New Zealand's raw milk supply is monitored through the National Chemical Contaminants Programme (NCCP), operated by New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).

The program has been effective in confirming that dairy products are free of chemical residues at levels that could pose a threat to human health or to international trade.

NCCP testing has shown that raw milk is very low in heavy metal contaminants and provides assurance that the entire NZ Dairy Industry is free of harmful levels of heavy metals.

Good Goat Milk Company products are periodically tested by IANZ accredited external laboratories for heavy metals and other elements of interest. Our products have shown to be very low in these contaminants.

Good Goat Milk Company confirms that no heavy metals are added to products and any levels detected are naturally occurring in milk.

Alongside the heavy metal monitoring completed via NCCP on New Zealand dairy ingredients, all finished products are periodically tested for heavy metals.

Yes. Our goat milk naturally contains A2 beta-casein protein.

Unlike most conventional cow's milk, which typically contains a mix of A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins, goat milk naturally contains A2 beta-casein. Goat milk also contains lower levels of alpha s1-casein, another milk protein associated with cow's milk sensitivity for some people.

These naturally occurring differences are one of the reasons many people who don't tolerate regular cow's milk choose goat milk instead. Individual digestion and tolerance can vary.

Our farming methods are traditional, but we are not strictly organic and therefore do not claim to be.

However, we test our products for glyphosate residue, one of the most widely used herbicides in farming and a key concern for many consumers of non-organic products.

As members of The Detox Project, our products must meet a “non-detect” standard for glyphosate residue. We have consistently met this standard since joining the program several years ago.

Yes. Our goat milk powder is made from 100% full cream New Zealand goat milk, with nothing added and nothing removed. We gently dry fresh goat milk to preserve its natural goodness, creating a convenient pantry staple that's ready whenever you need it.

No. Our goat milk powder is made from just one ingredient: full cream New Zealand goat milk. We don't add preservatives, fillers, artificial flavours or unnecessary ingredients—just simple, wholesome goat milk.

We recommend that individuals can consume our product from the age of 1 year old and continue to enjoy it throughout their lifetime. However, this product is not intended for infants under 12 months and should not be substituted for breast milk or infant formula.

Lactose intolerance and milk allergies are not the same, and individuals may react differently. If you are truly lactose intolerant, you may still experience discomfort from goat milk, as it does contain lactose. However, if you have difficulty digesting cow's milk but do not have a diagnosed lactose intolerance, you may find goat milk to be a gentler alternative. We recommend consulting your doctor if you are unsure about your dietary tolerance.

Our goat milk has a naturally mild, creamy, and slightly sweet flavor. Unlike some strong-flavored goat dairy products, our milk is fresh and smooth, making it a great alternative to cow’s milk.

Yes, you can. Just mix up the amount that you need with water and bake away!

We recommend ages 1 year and older. Our product is not infant formula and should not be substituted for that or for breast milk to feed infants.

Both are made from goat milk, but goat ghee is slowly clarified to remove the milk solids, resulting in a naturally lactose-free cooking fat with a high smoke point.

Compared with butter, goat ghee:

- Has a naturally high smoke point, making it ideal for frying, roasting and sautéing.
- Is naturally lactose-free.
- Has a smooth, mild buttery flavour.
- Can be stored in the pantry without refrigeration until opened.


Many people enjoy using goat ghee anywhere they would normally cook with butter or oil.
