They explained their nutrient process and showed us how they had been receiving excellent results. The tour continued and we were showed the various stages of growth. This is going above and beyond in my book. This was to insure that we didn’t introduce any sort of fungus or mold. We suited up and headed in.Īfter we entered the farming part of the facility, wearing our jumpsuits, we had to spray our feet down with disinfectant. It’s always fun seeing how different farms operate. We were greeted by our friend Chris, who introduced us to the Harmony Farms team and guided us through their farm. We made the trip to Lacey from Des Moines during a wonderful Northwest downpour. We were really excited to visit, as this was our first time visiting an LED grow from a tier 3 producer/processor. This ticket price includes going over to the Baby Goat Cuddling area after the tour is over and free soap samples and literature.Harmony Farms recently invited us to tour their farm in Lacey, WA. You will have the opportunity to participate in cheese/fudge sampling and get a complete overview of the cheese-making process along with other general information regarding raising and handling of the goats. You get to see all the “behind the scenes” and it consists of an ATV ride (no walking involved), viewing the cows and calves, pig and piglets that we raise right here on the farm, go into the milking parlor and see our 12 headgate milking stanchion, even try your hand at milking a goat by hand. We also do full farm tours that are about an hour and 20 minutes $25.00 a person, (under 2 is free) A reservation has to be made on our website, please do not just show up at the farm. This experience is $15 a person, under 2 is free. Stay for a while, cuddle, take pictures and relax. Give treats to the teenager goats, go into the Nigerian Dwarf habitat and pet and love on dwarf goats, get your picture taken with an exotic scarlet macaw named “Benny”. ![]() ![]() Pet a mustang name Diamond that has been rehilabated, love on a miniature horse named Mr. Pet and brush Lucy and Laney the llamas, feed our donkey “Festus'' and his sidekick our miniature donkey “Jeb” carrots.

We have two 20 x 40 covered baby goat nurseries - the infant side is climate controlled (AC and heat). ![]() Besides shopping in our Farm Store you can also make a reservation for fun activities on the farm. My goat girls produce the finest milk, making my soaps ultra-creamy and full of vitamins and minerals. It’s nice to know what you are putting on (in) your body after all…your skin is the largest organ you have. Many of the ingredients in our soap come right from the farm-goats milk from the goats, herbs from the garden, and more! Truly local ingredients mean a low carbon footprint. The Farm Store is open 8-5:00 Monday through Saturday right here in Smithville, Tennessee, just a 1/2 a mile off of Hwy 70, easy in and easy out. All can be purchased in our Farm Store (no reservation needed for the Farm Store). We make Goat Milk Soap and Goat Milk Lotion and have a variety of Crocheted goats, T-shirts, hats and/or pillows you can take home as a souvenir. Our pork is special because all of the whey from the cheese-making process is given to the hogs and makes for a high-protein, low-fat pork, hardly any grease in your pan. We raise our own whole pork sausage and ground beef. We received our license in February 2016 and have been making 8 delicious flavors of fresh Chevre, hand-cut marinated feta, goat milk fudge, chocolate and vanilla goat milk ice cream and goat milk caramels (which do not stick to your teeth or dental work as a normal caramel will), all are made in small batches and by hand.
