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.

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.

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

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.

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.

1 scoop is 28g, approximately 3.5 tablespoons.

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, with the package tightly sealed. We recommend using our goat milk powder within 1 month of opening the tub to ensure the best freshness and quality.

Once our goat milk powder is reconstituted in water, we recommend consuming it within 48 hours if kept in the fridge.

To make a standard serving, mix 1 scoop (28g) or approximately 3.5 tablespoons of goat milk powder with 1 cup (240ml) of water. Stir well until fully dissolved. You can adjust the amount of powder or water for your preferred consistency.

At this stage, no, but it is something that we are looking into for the future. We will keep you posted!
