Is Summerhill Goat Milk organic?

Our goal is to provide as natural goat milk as possible. When you purchase a bottle of Summerhill Goat Milk, you are getting pure goat milk. We do not add or remove anything from the milk that our goats produce. Nor do we standardize or homogenize our goat milk. However, at this time, our milk is not certified organic. Although we always work to ensure that what our goats eat is as natural and pure as possible, we have found it to be very difficult and very expensive to purchase the organic feed necessary for us to be certified organic.

Why isn’t Summerhill Goat Milk homogenized?

Homogenization is a process by which the fat particles in milk are broken down and evenly distributed through the milk. Goat’s milk is naturally homogenized, meaning the fat particles are smaller than that of cow’s milk. However, the cream in pasteurized goat milk may separate and rise to the top. That is why we recommend shaking your goat milk before serving it.

Is Summerhill Goat Milk hormone & antibiotic free?

We do not use BST or any other growth hormones on our goats. Our milk is free of antibiotics. In fact, each tank of milk is tested to ensure that it is free of antibiotics before the pasteurization and bottling process begins.
