Poplar Hill Dairy Goat Farm in Scandia is Minnesota's oldest Grade A dairy goat farm, run by the Maefsky family and producing fresh goat milk since 1972.
The farm keeps four breeds, Alpines, Nubians, Saanens and Toggenburgs, every one registered with the American Dairy Goat Association, and the herd has been on DHIA milk test for more than fifty consecutive years. The association honoured the family with its Pioneer Award in 2018, and the owners are in the Minnesota Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame.
The goat milk sold in stores across the upper Midwest is fresh pasteurised milk with no preservatives, antibiotics or growth hormones, while fresh raw goat milk is also sold direct from the farm by phone order.

Wonderful customer service.

We had a great experience today playing with and bottle feeding some baby goats! It is clear that owners of the farm put a lot of hard work into their property and prioritize their goats well-being. It was cool to hear about the history of the farm and see the milking facility. Would definitely recommend.

What an incredible place! From being greeted by the adorable little puppy known as Moira Rose, to playing with the baby goats, feeding them, and even milking a goat, this tour shows you everything! This is a working farm with a lot going on which gives you a first-hand look into what it takes to keep a farm running. Sarah was an awesome tour guide and so informative! Same for some of the hands, Josh and Josh! The babies will absolutely melt your heart and take all your worries in the world away. Truly a special place and would recommend the tour to anyone! Thank you, Sarah!
