Our Goats

O Pappous Bio Farm - organic farming illustrations 07b 1

Our herd consists of several dairy goat breeds, including Saanen, Alphine, Nubian, Shami and various crosses and are breed onsite. We have selected bucks in our herd, and work on improving or genetics through selective breading with natural methods. This has allowed us to develop an amazing herd of gentle-tempered goats suitable for the local conditions that produce high quality milk.
