Spend the day learning about goat tending, cheese making, organic farming and the gourmet goat cheese business!

"Siskiyou Crest Goat Dairy is a 64 acre farm with three acres under vegetable cultivation and a herd of 20+ milking does. We sell 90% of our produce to a CSA co-op in which we are a member farm. We use our wonderful goats milk to produce hand crafted artisan style cheeses of all types. Workers here  have a interest in animal husbandry as well as organic vegetable growing.

Michael "Mookie" Moss delights in his vegetable fields, micro-creamery, milking parlor and goat barn.  Sample locally produced artisan goat cheese and grass-finished beef chili.  You can meet the season’s baby goat kids and other farm animals.

Mookie Moss of the Siskiyou Crest Goat Dairy

began farming at the age of twenty. He grew up in Colorado and studied botany and biology before leaving college to farm. Between 1995 and 1999, he interned at eight different farms, mostly in Marin and Sonoma counties in California, started a farm in New York and ran his own vegetable business. In 2000, he moved up to Oregon and found land on Sterling Creek Road which immediately felt like home. Mookie realized early on that he would have to diversify his agricultural pursuits, as limited water at the Farm prohibited large scale vegetable production. Having managed a herd of goat bucks in California, Mookie decided to acquire a few nubian goats. He loved working with animals and saw the economic potential in increasing demand for goat dairy products.
