Eichers Hobby Farm

Jerry milks a herd of 22 does spanning Alpine, Boer, Kiko, Nubian, Toggenburg and Saanen breeds twice a day, and Theresa, who spent 35 years in the beauty industry, turns the milk into handcrafted face and body creams, wrinkle cream, lip cream and cold process soaps, all made with more than half goat milk.

The farm also sells fluid milk and meat from the herd, and makes all natural goat cheese in its own licensed cheese processing plant. Products are shipped all over the US and sold online, at Minnesota farmers markets and craft sales, and through more than a dozen named stockists across the state. Farm visits are by scheduled appointment only.
