Our Farms

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROMISE

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Here at Skyhill Napa Valley Farms, we are proud to be able to call ourselves a farmstead business. Simply, our dairy operation and cheese production takes place on-site. Our long-range goal is that acreage be entirely self-sustaining; we’re well on our way!

We grow our own alfalfa, have designed the recipe – comprised of local grains – for our goats’ supplemental feed, and utilize state of the art milking practices. Our goats also spend ample time browsing in the great outdoors as we rotate them through our fields.

COMMITTED TO THE HIGHEST QUALITY

Unlike sheep grazing, goats browsing causes no damage to the land; our goats tread lightly. These elements combine to create milk of the highest quality. And of course, the better the milk, the better the cheese.

All of our production by-products are utilized on the farm. Winter rain run-off is conserved in a 250,000-gallon cistern to provide summertime water for our gardens and orchards. We have been instrumental in supporting and developing one of the best windmill farms in California; our location takes advantage of the Delta breeze that blows between the Bay Area and the Sacramento Valley.

Currently, two of our locations are utilizing the total potential of solar panels to supplement the power grid in our area. Please enjoy our products, knowing that we are employing the best practices from creation to consumption while treading lightly and improving the land on which we operate.
