| We pride ourselves in selling only the
World's Finest Quality Fresh Goat Milk, Fresh Goat Milk
Cheese, Fresh Cage
Free Eggs, and Goat Milk Soap at our
historic farm. There are many known health
benefits
of goats milk and goats milk products. We hope you will come and try
some of our Farm Fresh products. |
| Willow Lane Dairy Goats started in July 1984
when Daniel Drake, one of the Drake children decided to get a dairy
goat. It was just a 4-H project for a couple of years, but quickly
turned into a small herd. Four younger Drake children, Richard, Matt,
Margaret, and Elizabeth soon had their own 4-H goats. |

Eventually Mom and Dad (Ron and Jeanette) were
also involved. They are now operating a licensed Grade A commercial
dairy. Jeanette also has her own business called Willow Lane Soap
Cottage and makes and sells handmade goat milk soap |
| The Drake Family raises quality Saanen and
Nubian dairy goats in West Jordan, Utah. We have also added Snubians
(Saanen Nubian mix) to our herd. Take a look at our 2003
Saanen sales list, our 2003 Nubian
sales list or our 2003 Snubian sales list if you are interested in buying one of our
kids. |

of a Nubian, Snubians are excellent dairy
goats. |
