Jollity Farm Goat Dairy - Garden Valley, California

Baby goats, friendly people and cheese this is one for the memory books FOR SURE!! We have had this bookmarked visit previously with time and a pandemic that got in the way of our farm adventure. BOY did this check all the boxes!!

Directions were a breeze for us as we drove through the peaceful hillside, arriving to the Jollity Farm. We watched the baby goats in their pen play and frolic around as this was delightful to take in before our scheduled time to bottle feed them.

Then we gathered in the barn area with a few of the baby goats with MaryLisa being beyond gracious, welcoming and friendly. She answered everyone's questions and took her time with us. We bottle fed several of the cute baby goats that were just a few weeks old and learned about the farm, the process of how they make their yummilicious cheese, other products and running their farm.

We enjoyed our visit immensely and was sure to visit the onsite farmstand to purchase cheese, lotion and a few other souvenir items.

I can not say enough about how much I love this place and all the people who make it happen. I have been coming here for 8 years. I have purchased cheese, soaps, lotions… it is such a gem. My son has been feeding the baby goats since he could stand up. It is such a treat to visit, which I do weekly. Running a farm is hard work, I am so thankful to have this place as a local staple!

Amazing goat farm with even better goat cheese. You can come visit the farm and goats, and even bring food for a picnic. There’s a self serve store, with goat cheeses, lotions and soaps. We found this farm after eating at a downtown Sacramento restaurant that featured their chèvre goat cheese on a dish. I’m so glad we took the 1 hour drive to come visit. Petting the baby goats and feeding their mamas was a blast… and we got 2 containers of the chèvre!

My favorite cheese. I like to get the spreadable cheeses and some artisan loaf at the farmers market for a simply delicious delight. It’s the kind of food that brings the simple joy to life.

Wonderful little spot. MaryLisa and her husband were so sweet. Welcoming atmosphere. The goats have plenty of room to roam around and you can see they are well taken care of and loved. They let the mamas and babies be together when the mamas aren’t being milked, very family oriented place.
We bought soap and lotion from their little shop. We had their products at our Airbnb which prompted us to visit.
I will definitely return when I’m back in the area.

Update! I just had the pleasure of feeding some cutie patootie baby goats! OMG! So cute and fun! Go to their website for info on how to reserve a spot to feed the baby goats. ❤️

I love this place! The goats are adorable. The cheese is tasty. The owners are lovely. The property is beautiful. And they have the nicest smelling patchouli and amber & cedar lotion. So happy I live close by!

Looks very rundown and nothing like the pictures posted. The goats are cute and we did get to watch some of them being milked, but it seems so dirty and unkempt that we didn’t want to buy anything. The mountain road drive out is no picnic either. Pick another place if you want to visit a goat farm.

This place was great! I’m so sorry I didn’t catch the name of the lady milking, but she was great. Talked to us for an hour while see milked. This is how a farm should be run. All the goats were very clean and happy, which you can taste in the cheese. Will definitely be back.
