At Gorgeous Goat Creamery, you’ll find pasteurized goat’s milk in glass bottles, farmstead goat cheeses, and goat’s milk yogurt. Our dairy products are available April through December, with a limited amount of aged cheese available in the winter. We also make small-batch, handcrafted goats milk soap and lotion.
We make all of our products right here on the farm in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. We use our own goat’s milk from our herd of Alpine dairy goats so you get the freshest products every week.
Through our products and our on-farm events, we’re on a mission to spread awareness and appreciation for local animal agriculture. After all, it’s all about the goats!

Won’t you help her 28 goat friends get a collar too?
We are a farm that does a lot of things the old fashioned way… a person milks the goats, not a robot. All of our jars of cheese are filled by hand, not by a machine…
But when it comes to goat fences, we are embracing the most current technology: virtual fences.
What is a virtual fence? Its a GPS-based fence and GPS collar worn by the goats. The collar alerts the goats with a high pitched noise when they reach the fence boundary. If they cross the boundary they get a little zap. Goat are smart, and they rarely get zapped.
Our herd of male goats has trialed the virtual fence since April with huge success.
They are in the forest every day because we don’t need to move the portable electric netting fence. We just change the virtual fence in the app. They can reach new parts of the property that couldn’t accommodate the portable netting.
Now its the lady goats’ turn. We have 25 collars for the ladies and we need 28 more collars. Can you help us make this investment?

We partner with Odd Bird Brewing to upcycle their spent brewing grains as feed for our goats. Goats prefer dark beer over light beer. Well, the spent brewing grains, that is…. The heart of any beer is malted grains, usually malted barley. The by-product of beer making is called “spent grain”, which is the protein and fiber-rich fraction off the grain. This is a great food for our goats, and we pick up over 300 lbs of spent grains each week from Odd Bird Brewing. This upcycling reduces the energy footprint for both our goat dairy farm and the brewery. And we also love their beer.
We are also active in the agricultural community as members of the New Jersey Farm Bureau, Garden State Dairy Goat Association, and American Dairy Goat Association. Click on a logo to learn more!
The farm is predominantly cloaked in hardwood forest and is home to a variety of tree species including white oak, red oak, red maple, sugar maple, shagbark hickory, and ash. Recently, our forest has faced a formidable challenge from the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that targets ash trees. This pest aggressively feeds on the trees, causing them to shed their leaves and eventually die. Such damage has spurred a significant turnover in tree populations, threatening the overall health of our woodland.
At Gorgeous Goat Creamery, we recognize the critical need to protect and rejuvenate these forests to sustain our local ecosystem. We are deeply committed to forest regeneration efforts, ensuring that these woods thrive for generations to come.
Our goats are the primary forces against invasive species growth. Goats love to eat multiflora rose, barberry, and stilt grass. From April through October, the goats spend all day in the forest munching on the invasive species. It naturally fills their bellies with nutritious food and supports our sustainable forest management plan. Our environmentally conscious approach to forest management benefits the forest, our goats and us!
We utilize forest products on our property to heat our house, provide shelter for our animals, and for our market displays. Our custom milled wood and firewood are available locally in Hunterdon County, New Jersey as special order products.
