Welcome
to Hillman Farm.
Hidden
in the Northeastern Berkshire Hills we farm 45 acres, a perfect
home for our small herd of forty American and French Alpine, Nubian
and Nupine goats. Organic pastures offer a healthy diet and rocky
ledges a wonderful playground to exercise and enjoy their lives.
Here we handcraft our Award Winning Farmstead Goat cheese.
My
husband and I met here, he was born just around the corner, and
our farm is part of what was once his family’s farm. Both
our families sold off their farms, so many have done, unable to
make it sustainable. We felt that adding value to a farm product
such as milk was the way to go and even though Joe never wanted
to milk a cow again, it only took a small amount of coaxing before
our goats won him over. We've built the barn, dairy and cheeseroom
together. We hay, we lug wood, we bring life into this world, we
nurture. He milks and I make cheese. We Harvest together.
