The Humble Goat Story

Honoring generations of passion for the dairy industry.
At Humble Goat, greatness isn’t rushed; it’s crafted with patience, dedication, and a commitment to excellence. Behind every batch of our finest chevre lies a story of hard work, excitement, and unwavering devotion to quality.

Founded by Stickney Hill Dairy, a family-owned business with deep roots in Minnesota’s Heartland, we take pride in partnering with a large network of dairy goat producers dedicated to the humane care of their animals through the Happy Goat Program.
