"River’s Edge Goat Dairy is a family owned
and operated farm just outside Arthur Ontario... The 60 milking goats are
housed in generous, well lit pens of 12 goats each. They are fed a custom
grain as well as hay grown on the farm... Each pen has access to a grassy
field and the goats can go in and out as they wish.
The goats behave like a family in their groups and like being together.
Twice a day, early morning and evening, they walk to the milking parlour
in the same group of 12 where each goat seems to have her favourite spot.
The pipeline carries the milk from the milking parlour directly to the
pasteurizing vat in the nearby cheese/milk plant for processing and hand
packaging.
The Wilmans work very hard to provide a healthy environment for their goats
and their family. In turn, they believe this helps to produce quality milk
for their bottled milk, cheeses and yogurt."
