GOATS' MILK YOGHURT

MATHOM FARMGATE YOGHURT Made within an hour of milking so it's fresh from your local North West Tasmania dairy farm to you

This yoghurt contains acidophilus and bifidus cultures, which are probiotic cultures that are known to have positive health effects on the digestive system. The culture produces a thicker-set yoghurt, with a rich strong flavour, and can be mixed with fruit, honey, vanilla, or whatever you choose to make a great healthy dessert, a delicious topping for you breakfast cereal or to eat on its own!

Goats’ milk is non-allergenic, easy to digest and low in fat. Its pure, white colour shows that unlike other domestic farm animals, goats produce milk that has fat particles so small that they are held in suspension. In other words, little rises to the top as cream so it can be described as "naturally homogenised". As the fat particles have a very large surface area to volume ratio, this makes it easy for digestive enzymes to work on them to break them down quickly and efficiently. Many people who have difficulty in digesting other dairy products find goats' milk, cheese and yoghurt no trouble at all!

PET GOATS

Pet goats are available throughout the first four months of the season, August to December. Because coloured and Nubian-type kids are more popular as pets, kids from the commercial herd are being dealt with separately. Local buyers please note that because of export pressures, weaned kids are not available this season. We can supply 3-day-olds that have been fed on colostrum.

CAPRETTO

Goat meat is the most eaten meat in the world and has for generations been the choice of milk-fed meats in the Mediterranean region.

Mathom Farm Boer Dairy cross kids are raised on the their mother’s milk produced on the clean, green pastures of Gunns Plains, Tasmania. They have never been exposed to growth promotants, antibiotics or drenches.

Throughout the world, people consume more meat from goats than from any other domesticated animal. The Boer was specifically bred to produce high quality meat.

Capretto is exceptionally lean and low in cholesterol and is the focus of a growing demand from the health conscious populations of the western world.

Research presented to the Nutritional Society of Australia (1997) confirms the reputation that Capretto is as low as 5mg of cholesterol per 100g, whereas the lowest figures reported for other meats were 44mg for beef, 52mg for lamb and 66mg for pork

But the best thing about it is that it tastes great!
