Caprikorn Farms is a Saanen dairy goat farm in Rohrersville, Maryland, milking a nationally awarded herd since 1978 and making farmstead goat cheese and goat milk soap.
Caprikorn Farms is a Saanen dairy goat farm in Maryland's Pleasant Valley, farming since 1978.
More than 150 goats live on the farm and every one of them has a name. The herd is bred for milk rather than showing, with lactations tested through DHIA, and the farm's news page tracks each doe's results in loving detail. The goats browse as nature intended and are raised without artificial growth hormones.
Milk from the herd goes into the farm's award winning goat cheeses, hand crafted in the farmstead tradition in five flavours: Traditional, Dill and Garlic, Orange Blossom Honey, Cranberry Horseradish, and Chesapeake Bay. The cheese is stocked at shops around Maryland, including Ruth's Market in Williamsport and 146 Provisions in Boonsboro, and through South Mountain Creamery home delivery. The farm also makes goat milk soap and opens to visitors during local craft tours and the South Mountain Spring Festival.

This was an interesting shop. We stopped here on a whim. I bought bar soap with accessories and it smells incredible. Friends I was with also purchased goat cheese. We visited the goats and fed them animals crackers. The owner was very personable.
spring is the best time to visit the baby goats, and they have the best and nice milkers!
Beautiful run little farm. great soaps and cheese. Nice ride and the goats are friendly. We loved visiting and feeding them treats. The products support the farm. They are listed on Facebook.
I left a message on their answering machine about needing a goat in milk in an emergency situation. The emergency situation was the one of my goats had passed away as a result of a difficult delivery. My one year old can only drink goats milk because of his allergies. There are no goat dairies or goat milk retailers within two hours of me, so we have milked our own goats since shortly after he was born. So my need was desperate, I was willing to pay a nice sum of money to acquire a doe in milk and to drive for her. Well, the owner, i think his name was scott, called me back a few days later and did not even give me a chance to speak. He started by saying it doesn't matter if you are from west virginia or Saudi Arabia, the prices are on the website. He then proceeded to hang up the phone without letting me speak a word. So rude and such an embarrassment to the profession of agriculture. He must be a troubled soul, we should pray for him.
Stay away from them. My father has been trying for months to get a hold of the owner to inquiry on the status of his purchase - goats - and she has been incapable of responding. Now moving into legal, stronger actions to get reimbursement. Incredible that there are still in business and that they treat people like this.
