Firstfruits Farm

We will sell Grade A Raw Goat’s Milk through this market. My husband Don and I operate Firstfruits Farm and are permitted through DHEC to sell the milk. Our dairy goats are antibiotic free. We are using natural methods to minimize parasites within the herd and eliminate the need for harsh medications. Firstfruits Farm is licensed by DHEC and our facilities and goats are
inspected regularly to maintain quality control. Our Grade A raw
goat’s milk is processed according to DHEC standards in order to
provide you with nutritional, soothing, full-flavored milk. We do not
remove the cream or alter the milk in any way. Because it is not
heated, our milk contains natural enzymes to help with digestion and
absorption. At Firstfruits Farm we keep our goats healthy by using a
rotational forage system and by carrying in fresh water which has been
tested for purity. Our dairy animals do not receive any antibiotics or
hormones.

Our goats are tested annually for TB and Brucellosis. Our milk center is inspected monthly and our milk is tested regularly to make certain it meets the stringent requirements set by DHEC.

We use a rotating forage system with our goats and augment the forage with hay and grain. The goats are free to roam under the protection of trained livestock guardian dogs. We have been working with the Cooperative Extension Service amd the Department of Agriculture in order to keep abreast of the latest techniques for disease control and forage development.

I am looking forward to participating in this program because it promotes small farms.

Sincerely,

Janice Woodard
