Women Who Stare at Goats Collective - Farming with a Feminine Touch.

We are the guardians of a small dairy goat herd on San Juan Island, Wa. We practice Animal Midwifery as a holistic, intuitive approach to raising animals. This pioneering method is a running experiment rooted in developing real relationship with the animals. We are committed to learning their personal dynamics, language, behaviors and herd culture to collaborate with them toward roles & goals within the vision of the farm as a whole. Respect, attunement, quiet observation and negotiations with the animas involved in order to uphold the quality of life of the creatures. We believe that the quality of care results in a greater quality in the offerings the animals provide - from fresh milk, cheeses & sweet treats made from their milk to fun public events or friendly hang-time with the herd. The main ‘product’ we focus on is their quality of life, and our offerings are a reflection of that, in which we, and our community get to enjoy, including them!

Help our herd secure their forever home!

We have the opportunity to secure a permanent home for our sweet herd & just 2 months to make it happen.
Our herd has been living on a beautiful 120-acre farm and
