I
deliver milk anywhere within a 50 mile radius of the farm for a minimum
order of 5 gallons. We are located aprox. 35 miles southeast of
Atlanta, so we have a large area we will deliver to.
If you can't make it to one of the
Farmers Markets, or down to the farm, and you don't need five gallons,
you can tack a smaller order onto a current delivery location. Minimum
orders have already been met for these, so you are free to order as
little as one half gallon for pick-up at one of these locations.
Our milk is also available at a number of
farmers markets around Atlanta. Market price per half gallon is the
same as delivered price, $6.00 per half gallon.
I do sell out early, so to
guarantee that I will have milk for you I strongly recommend calling or
e-mailing ahead to reserve your order for a market.

NOTICE!!!
To contact me for milk, eggs, rabbits, or any other inquiry about
our farm, please call our home #770-954-1167 or e-mail me at
nyrlerealgoats@att.net . Even if you have
acquired my cell number PLEASE do NOT leave me messages or text me on
that number. I do not get these messages regularly as I only have my
cell phone on when I am actually on a delivery or attending a market,
and many times messages never go through on my cell number for days and
even weeks. I always get my messages on the home number, but you
will
probably have to leave a message as I am hardly ever by the
phone. E-mail is always best as I do check my e-mail multiple times
throughout the day, and can easily answer these very late at night when I
get a minute to myself without waking anybody either at my house or
yours. Thank you for your understanding.
********** About The
Farm **********
Prices
are FIRM:
We know the economy is
rather tight, but please do not try to haggle milk prices, egg prices,
or any other products we intermittently offer from our farm. We work
VERY long hours with no days off, no sick leave, no vacation, and at
present, no pay over expenses. If you are happy to pay Wal-Mart prices
for eggs and milk, then PLEASE got there and purchase it. The products
they offer as well as other retail outlets are not what you will find on
our farm. You will not find the DEAD milk and flavorless eggs here. Our
eggs are fresh, from healthy chickens who live for many, many years.
Our milk is produced from our beloved herd of Saanens whom we care for
diligently every day from birth onward. We do NOT cut corners in feed,
housing, or day to day care. Our expenses are MUCH higher than a big
commercial dairy due to quality standards that I have set and I will not
compromise to try and make a dollar. Our customers
are people who VALUE quality, insist on knowing the origin of their
desired product, and want as little time and distance as possible
between their home and where it was grown, harvested, or milked. People
learn a small portion of our lifestyle and say “ How can you work that
hard every day?”. Well, we love our lifestyle, but that
does NOT mean we function as philanthropists and wish to give away
everything we work so very hard every day for, and then cannot put gas
in our own vehicles. We are a SMALL family farm. I do not have
employees, or even volunteers to help here. Every chore, task, and job
here is done by me, my daughter, or my already overworked, but very
accommodating, husband. So, please understand why our prices are set and
non-negotiable.
I'm done venting now.

Now, about the farm:
Robinson Family Farm is a small
family owned and operated, diversified homestead. We have been at our
McDonough, GA location since 1991, and have had goats for over 20 years.
NYRLE Real Goats Dairy is part of this farm, and has been state
licensed and running since 1997. Our milk is licensed for PET
consumption ONLY. We sell Fresh, RAW, whole, goats milk. We encourage
our customers to come out and see the animals, facility, and milking
parlor so they know first hand the health of our animals, the level of
care they receive, and last, but NOT least, the CLEANLINESS of our
parlor. We strive to produce a CLEAN and WHOLESOME product. We prefer
customers who want to know were things come from and demand quality in
what they buy.
All of our goats are registered
Saanen dairy goats. We were on standard DHIA test from 1997 through
2005, and have linear appraised off and on through the years. Our
milkers have won multiple top ten awards in the past, specifically
butterfat, which averages 3.8 to 4.2 %. We believe in taking the best
care of our animals so they will produce for us for many years.
The entire herd is Certified and
Accredited. This means they have been tested and consistently (year
after year) found NEGATIVE for both Tuberculosis AND Brucellosis! This
testing is VERY important for ALL dairy animals! Our entire herd is also
CAE (Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis) negative (re-tested biannually),
and we are participants in the National Scrapie program. We pride
ourselves in maintaining healthy animals.
We have shown our goats on a
National level in years past, and plan to get back into showing locally.
Showing our animals is how we get time off the farm as a family, and we
enjoy getting together with our “goatie” friends that we only get to
see at the shows.
We have always had a garden,
poultry, and honey bees, and are now offering their products on a
seasonal basis to our customers. Vegetables and herbs as they are in
season, fresh eggs, and raw honey with the comb.
We also breed Pedigreed Californian
Meat Rabbits.
Please check individual pages for details on what our
farm has to offer.
We welcome you to come out and see
the farm.
Groups are welcome by appointment.
Sincerely:
The Robinson Family
Jeff, Yvonne, and Tori
