You’ll Never Forget A Visit To Drake Family Farms, A One-Of-A-Kind Farm Filled With Baby Goats In Utah

Goat cheese and goat milk are pretty popular these days. Goats' milk is actually one of the earliest known superfoods, and goat cheese is just plain delicious. And since you can't have goat products without adorable goats, we highly recommend getting them straight from the source when you can. Drake Family Farms has a farm store and it's fantastic.

The Drake Family Farms Goat Dairy is located in West Jordan, where it has been since Edward Drake purchased the property in 1880.

Six generations of the Drake Family have farmed here since. Today, it's a designated historic Utah Century Farm.

The dairy goats didn't arrive on the scene until much later, but they're here to stay.

The property is still managed by the Drake family, with Richard Drake as the herd manager.

Drake Family Farms became a commercial operation licensed by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food to sell goat products in 2000.

These days, the products are sold at several Farmers Markets, neighborhood grocery stores, and even Salt Lake City Whole Foods locations.

But if the onsite farm store is open, we highly recommend getting your supply straight from the source.

After all, this means you're much more likely to get some glimpses of the baby goats.

The goat milk and cheese are definitely the top sellers, but you'll find other products here as well.

Their goat milk soap will give you some seriously soft skin, and it makes a great gift.

The Drake family knows that the best cheese comes from the highest quality milk... and that comes from happy goats.

The goats on the farm are truly part of the family. They even have their own names.

If you've ever been around a goat, you know they each have a strong and unique personality.

Having a goat is almost like having a dog in some ways (a dog that will eat anything).

The Drake Family Farm Store is open Monday - Saturday from 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.

The store is self-serve, and most people choose to order their products online and pay that way. Walk-ins are welcome to pay with cash or checks.
