Our History

The first goats at Sweet Williams Farm

Little did we know that we’d start a new adventure on the spring day in 2017 we stopped by the Jasper, GA Tractor Supply to buy chicken feed for our pet chickens. The parking lot was filled with tables and tents of local farmers selling their feathered farm critters. We walked through and saw the fluffy poultry pecking at grains in their cages and were surrounded by the sounds of happy clucks and rooster crows. As I gazed into the cages to see if I needed a new feathered friend on our farm, I heard a “baaaa” sound a little further down. I squatted down to peer into the cage with the non-chicken noises and there snuggled adorably together were three baby goats. My heart melted and that day we left not only with our sack of chicken feed, but also a fluffy feathered chick, and two goats.

Soaps of Sweet Williams Farm made from all natural ingredients.

After our first goats, we decided to add more of these precious caprine to our homestead. George and I both absolutely adored the fun personalities of the goats. After having our unregistered fun starter herd, and our first experiences at milking and making goat milk products for ourselves, we decided it was time to take a different approach to our fun hobby and turn it into a small scale goat dairy with registered high milk producing goats.

After much research on the different dairy breeds, and visiting and speaking with other dairy goat farmers, we decided Saanen and Nubian dairy goats were our preferred breeds for our emerging dairy operation. We also have a couple pet Nigerian Dwarfs who are a lot of fun.

We currently have a variety of goat milk soaps we create with minimal ingredients from the milk of our dairy herd and all of the label artwork is created by farmer Jill.

Safety of our products we sell to the public and that we use for ourselves is very important as well as the safety of our animals. We have our herd annually disease tested and proactively have any new herd members who we potentially would like to add to our herd disease tested before we bring them to our farm.

Our herd is fed naturally with quality grains, seeds, minerals, naturally grown orchard mix hay as well as organic forage throughout our 10 acre farm and the occasional Animal Cracker or Fig Newton treats. We love our animals and consider them our family as they give us as much love back as we show towards them. What a true blessing it is to work daily with these precious animals who look forward to their daily hugs and ear scratches. They talk to us in their own way and literally jump for joy.

We look forward to sharing our journey with you.
