Yes, we do.

Goat Milk had naturally very small fat globules, and only needs a very low pressure, partial homogenization. It avoids clogging of the bottle neck with fat and flacking in tea or coffee.

In Canada the sale of raw milk is not permitted, therefore we need to declare all of our raw milk Kefirs “for pets only”.

All our batches are tested for coliforms, E-Coli, yeast and mould. Salmonella and Listeria are tested periodically in the entire facility. About twice per year.

We use microbial rennet, which is produced by bacteria. Originally, rennet was extracted from the calf’s stomach. That product is nowadays hard to find. Rennet is an enzyme that coagulates the casein in the milk and initiates the cheese making process.

We use freeze-dried kefir culture. This is more stable and food-safer than the grains.

Goat milk, and goat milk powder contains some lactose. Only fully fermented products like yogurt and kefir are pretty much lactose free. Aged cheese is lactose free as well. Many people who have reactions to cow milk think they are lactose intolerant, but often are intolerant to the bovine protein, which is not found in Goat milk.

If you keep the powder in a dry and dark place it will last to the expiry date. Freezing the goat milk powder will keep it fresh the longest.

It is made from pasteurized milk.

Yes, all our products are gluten free.

All our packaging materials are BPA free.

No, we don’t fortify our products. These fortifying agents are synthetic and very poorly absorbed by the body. You are much better off, using a high end multi vitamin every day.

Best is to buy it thru our online store: https://happydaysdairy.ca/product-category/human/.

No, the freezing doesn’t effect the probiotics. They are in a dormant stage and wake up upon thawing.

That is because the protein composition of goat milk and cow milk is different. Goat Milk protein is much like humans mother milk protein, easier to digest and not causing any allergy like reactions. In return you are getting a less ‘thick” product.

Goat kids are raised with milk powder, as we milk the lactating does.
