We only feed lush, high altitude, cool season pasture during the green season (see "Pasture Perfect" by Jo Robinson for the benefits of 100% grass fed dairy). We feed only hay in the winter.
We milk seasonally (April-mid November). The cows get the winter off to grow a healthy calf. Equally as important, we get the winter off to get our sanity back. We built a New Zealand style milking barn which we keep exceptionally clean. Most of our milk goes to our raw milk artisan cheeses which can be purchased on farm or at the Durango and Telluride farmers' markets.
In addition to raw milk and cheeses, we have 100% grass fed beef, pasture raised, whey fed pork (Whey-Good Pork), lots of pasture eggs, native tree nursery, and a wide variety of organically raised vegetables. We offer tours during the sumer (call for the schedule).
We are 10 miles north of Durango. Across the highway and just north of Honeyville. |

Our goats are free ranging during milking season, they eat only
wild food which produces wonderful milk. When they do have to eat in because of weather they eat locally grown alfalfa and grass hay that is grown without chemicals. For treats when milking they get sunflower seeds.

The Creekside @ Tomichi Creek Ranch (headquarters to Parker Pastures) is approx 400 acres. Though primarily a beef ranch, we have diversified and added a small group of lovely Jerseys.
We manage our grass-based operation using Holistic Management. We strive to improve the ecological health of the land while providing delicious, local, sustainable foods for our community. We believe that nutrition is the root of healthy livestock and high quality forage in a low stress, natural environment is of the utmost importance in raising healthy animals and producing delicious, high quality, healthy milk..
Our girls are on pasture at all times (except during milking!) and are grazed semi-intensively and moved frequently onto fresh, lush timothy/clover pasture during the growing season. We feed Gunnison grown hay during the winter and early spring. We do not use antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers. Due to our climate, we are a seasonal dairy, meaning we do not milk the cows year round. We dry our cows up for 10-12 weeks during the early spring to allow them to prepare for calving in late May. Therefore, shareholders must be prepared for a planned, annual dry period during which no milk will be available.

| Margaret Hollander | Capering Goat Dairy | 5012 Valhalla Dr. | Boulder | CO | 80301 | 303-519-8618 | margawh@indra.com | | Driving Directions: Boulder County near Boulder Reservoir entrance gate. Travel north on 51st from Jay Rd., turn left (west) on Valhalla Dr., 3rd house on left on the corner of Valhalla and Thor.
Products Offered: Raw goat milk for now (probably will work into yoghurt, kefir and some cheeses as I get rolling.
Farm Description: We live on one acre in Boulder County. The dairy herd consists of 5 does currently; 2 Nubians, 2 Saaens and 1 La Mancha. We have about 20 laying chickens and some years we raise chickens for meat. There is also a vegetable garden for our use.
Farm Management Philosophy:
I have a deep respect for the goats as hard workers contributing high quality milk. I keep them healthy and content by paying attention to them individually, giving them good clean feed, comfortable living conditions, including plenty of room to exercise, shelter and dry bedding, regular routine, fresh water, appropriate grooming and natural health care.
I use mostly herbal and Homeopathic medicines on the goats when needed. Only when necessary do I use antibiotic treatment. (Milk withdrawal is closely monitored in the case of antibiotic use.)
They eat unsprayed alfalfa and a dairy grain blend. I'm exploring natural and organic grain rations and hope to move to that within the next year. I will let them forage on our property and two adjoining properties. It remains to be seen how much of their feed will come from these sources. I plan to freshen the does in March and have them dried off during January and February.
