Drake Family Farms was founded in West Jordan, Utah, in 1880 by English immigrant Edward Drake. Originally an agricultural farm, the Drake’s did not have more than a few farm animals until the 1980’s, when Dan Drake got a pet goat. The family began breeding goats, then selling goat products.
Today, the farm is almost exclusively about goats. The company sells pasteurized goat milk, goat cheese, flavored cheeses, and yogurt. Health requirements make pasteurizing goat milk and goat milk products a necessity, but many health enthusiasts go directly to the farm for fresh, raw goat milk. The company’s herd consists of Nubian, Saanen, Alpine, and Snubian Goats. (Snubians are a hybrid cross between Saanen and Nubians). In addition to foods, the company sells goat milk soap.
Drake Family Farms is still owned and operated by the Drake family. The company does not offer tours, but it does have a small store where products can be purchased. Products are also sold at local Whole Foods and other health stores in the area.
