OUR FAMILY FARM
We're a family hobby farm in Ontario's Georgian Bay area, specializing in registered Nigerian Dwarf goats.
We raise our goats with love and care, and use their fresh milk to handcraft our line of natural goat milk soaps, lotions, sugar scrubs, and candles — all made right here on our farm. Aside from our goat milk products, we also enjoy raising laying hens, and our two trusty guardian dogs.
OUR FARM GUARDIANS
Meet Argus and Holly, our Great Pyrenees guardian dogs.
Our Ontario farm is no stranger to nighttime critters and bandits — foxes, raccoons, and plenty of curious visitors make their rounds regularly. Luckily we have Holly and Argus. They live full time with the goats, sleeping alongside the does in the barn, and take their jobs very seriously. Although they might be two of the friendliest “guard” dogs you’ll ever meet, Argus’ sheer size of 150lbs — and even bigger bark — is enough to ward off anything that comes lurking.
HOMEMADE ON SITE
All of our goat milk products are handmade right here on our Ontario farm.
Slowly but surely our goat milk soap and skincare operation has taken over our farm! One of the great advantages of a homestead like ours is space — it means we can handcraft every bar of soap, every lotion, and every candle right here on site without outsourcing to other companies. That means we control 100% of the quality, every single time. When you buy from The Holmstead, you know exactly where your products come from.
