SAANEN and toggenburg GOATS

Baris is home to a herd of beautiful Saanen and Toggenburg goats, both of which originated in Switzerland. The Saanen breed is renowned for its exceptional milk production, and when you picture a dairy goat, it's likely to be a lovely white-fawned Saanen nanny. In contrast, the Toggenburg is a sturdy, medium-sized breed, with solid colors ranging from light fawn to rich chocolate. Together, these breeds contribute to the charm and diversity of our farm.

OUR HERD

We began with just five pregnant Saanen doelings and immediately fell in love with them. Over time, our herd has expanded both in size and breed. The delicious milk from our goats is perfect for cheese-making, but they offer so much more than that. In addition to their tasty milk, our goats are incredibly friendly, affectionate, and surprisingly intelligent. They bring hours of joy and laughter to everyone at Baris, and we cherish each and every one of them.

CARING FOR GOATS

At Baris, we believe in holistic care for our goats, focusing on their natural needs and well-being. Our goats roam freely on planted forage and eagerly respond when it’s time for milking in the parlor. These ladies appreciate a bit of grooming and a tender, loving touch. Kidding season is a time of excitement and hard work, as our kids require plenty of attention—and they thrive on it! You’re guaranteed to fall in love with this friendly bunch of fluffy kids in no time.
