Dove Song Dairy is a diversified, old-fashioned family farm located in the rolling hills of Berks County, Pennsylvania. Our farm, which dates back to the Colonial Era, uses a modern-day milking facility we designed to ensure quality conditions for our milk and comfort for our animals. Our 200 goats, made up of mostly Alpines, LaManchas, and Nubians, are individually named and enjoyed by friends and family alike.
We believe in a natural approach to animal husbandry. Our farm is organic (not certified) and sustainable. We never use pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or sludge on our fields. That way we can be sure the soil, the wildlife, and our livestock aren’t absorbing anything that could be harmful or toxic.
Our dairy goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, sheep, pigs, and other livestock are pastured year round and we feed them all our own special ration to help keep them healthy.
We are a hardworking farm family. Farming is our life and we enjoy every part of it, from collecting the eggs to milking the goats, from working in the fields to making cheeses, and everything in between. From our family to yours . . . enjoy!

Although this film is over a decade old and some of the information and products have changed, it still gives you a good idea of the care we have for our animals.
