When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
Citizens of Indiana, do you often wonder what there is to do in your home state but don’t know where to begin looking? Are you seeking something truly unforgettable that will stay with you forever? What if we told you a farm checked those boxes and more? What if we told you this farm was full of baby goats?
You absolutely read that right. Baby goats. Hundreds of them.
GMS Farms, also known to the internet as Goat Milk Stuff, is a 36-acre family-run farm just off the I-65 in Scottsburg, Indiana. The Jonas family has been raising goats for 15 years. It started with two- and soon a passion was born!
Several goat-milk-related products are made at the farm, including (but not limited to) artisan soaps, cheeses, candy, and so much more.
Currently roaming the property are over 200 Alpine and Nigerian Dwarf goats. Both species are heavy-hitting milk producers, and the farm makes excellent use of everything they successfully produce. They pride themselves on providing top-notch care and love for each and every goat on the property; these goats are family!

The Jonas family house overlooks the busy farmland and adds a rustic feel to farm ground tours.
Visitors can expect to learn a lot about farm life and goat milk production during a day trip to GMS. Goats are also available for sale from the farm, and they each have papers demonstrating their prizewinning lineage.
For just $5 per person (when booked online), visitors can gain access to the baby goat corral for 25 solid minutes. That's right: you can hold, snuggle and love on as many teeny-tiny little goats as your heart can handle.
They are absolutely, ridiculously adorable, and thanks to their upbringing in a very person-friendly environment, the little guys are well-socialized and eager to play with their new visiting friends.
The busiest time of year for GMS Farm tours and baby goat adventures is from March through Labor Day, though they're open for most of the year. The only exceptions are the months of January and February when there are no openings for visitors available in the baby goat barn.
March through October, lunch is served on the farm for visitors from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
As always, it's super-important to schedule your visit to GMS Farm ahead of time to reserve your spot — they can get super busy, and we totally see why.
There are other critters to see and experience at GMS Farm other than just the baby goats — though they're definitely the pint-sized attraction most people come for.
Also wandering the grounds are two different breeds of dog: Great Pyrenees and Bernese Mountain Dogs. The Jonas family prides themselves in raising prize-winning Bernese pups before finding them only the best of homes. What could be better than a day at a farm with not just baby goats, but puppies too?
