Our goal at Blakesville Dairy Farm is to humanely raise healthy, happy goats that produce the highest quality milk using sustainable farming practices. The goat farm is also designed to be congruent with the larger environmental and social aims of the surrounding properties which include 400 additional acres of primarily agricultural and historic homestead properties.
Our farm was originally a 300-cow dairy called Lake Breeze (now one of our cheese names) in Port Washington, Wisconsin, owned and operated by the Karrells Family. Mr Karrells wanted to sell his farm but did not want to see it developed into lakefront condos, so we acquired it in late 2012 and began the process for converting the property to our goat farm. The goat dairy was originally named Afterglow Dairy Farm in 2012, but the name was updated in 2019 to Blakesville Dairy Farm to honor the original village that was located on the land prior to our time.
Today, we are approaching peak milk production at our facility, milking approximately 1,100 goats. Our herd of mostly Saanen and Alpine goats is made up of strong DNA lineage and is managed to achieve the highest standards in genetics. Our goat farm team is led by General Manager Brent Foat and Herd Manager Whitney Sakal.
Our farm is not currently open to the public; visitors or business calls by appointment only, please.
