benefits of
goat milk
With so many milk alternatives in the stores today, why should someone choose to try goat milk?
Goat milk is healthy and nutritious. It is naturally rich in calcium and potassium, as well as Vitamin A. Goat milk’s mild proteins and smaller fat particles make it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach. Goat milk can be a wonderful alternative for children and adults who are lactose intolerant, allergic to cow or soy milk, or those who suffer from ulcers and other stomach ailments.
Summerhill Goat milk is delicious. It is mild and sweet. The milk is chilled immediately after leaving the goat, preserving its natural flavor. Goat milk can be used in all recipes, meals or snacks that call for milk. It tastes great over cereal, in your morning coffee or cold in a glass by itself.
Summerhill Grade A Pasteurized Goat Milk is a 100% natural product. There is no artificial creation or chemical formula in our bottles – just pure, natural milk given by our goats. |

- Allergic to cow or soy milk: If you have a severe allergy to cow milk, please speak to your health care provider before trying goat milk. Many people who are allergic to the major protein in cow milk are able to tolerate goat milk because the protein composition is different in goat milk. There are no soy proteins in goat milk.
- Lactose Intolerant: All milk contains lactose, which is milk sugar. However, some people who are unable to tolerate the lactose in cow milk may find goat milk to be a great alternative. The smaller fat particles make goat milk easily digestible. It passes through the system very quickly, preventing many of the discomforts that cow lactose may cause in people. This also means goat milk is a great alternative for people who suffer from ulcers and other stomach ailments.
