Hope Haven Farms is a goat farm and creamery located in Harleyville, SC, a small town perched in upper Dorchester County. Our dairy goats are pasture-fed through managed intensive rotational grazing, which is great for our pastures, our goats and, best of all, our cheese (not to mention the sustainability of our planet). We supplement their feed with the very best hay, locally sourced and proven to lower parasite loads naturally. And by doing everything in-house, from pastures to creamery, we meticulously coordinate our entire process in order to make some of the world’s healthiest and tastiest award-winning goat cheese.

About our Farm
Our farm family developed early on. In 1996 we rescued a starved, neglected horse that was very very poor health. We brought him home, named him Humphrey Bogart and named our farm Hope Haven.
Our family has developed a fantastic reputation for caring for animals. In 2001 we bought our first little hobby farm of 2 acres in Port Orchard, WA. We grew organic vegetables, potatoes, herbs, and lots of fruits. Our fascination of goats began in a similar manner as horses. We adopted a bottle baby buck and used him and another goat extensively for clearing blackberry bushes in the Pacific Northwest. We have been been raising goats since 2003.
In 2010, our family followed Boeing to the Charleston area and we purchased a historic farm house and 20 acres. We were offered 3 goats one year as Christmas gifts. We accepted and had no idea that 5 months later those 3 goats would each have twins. We discovered the gorgeous nature of FRESH organic goat's milk and have begun making artisan cheeses. We are excited to continue in business as a family and grow our endeavor to bring more products to the public and share our way of life and philosophies of kindness. Our historic farm has many gems that came with it. A very historic site, the original Harleyville country store, built in 1826 and a farm house over 150 years old. We have over 50 HUGE pecan trees, Jesuit Pear trees as well as a few Walnuts and Chestnuts trees. We offer the "chocolate" egg or the gourmet French Copper Maran eggs, known for their deep brown color and rich flavor. We also work diligently to preserve and renew our farms sustainability through solar power as well as a wild bird revival program with the Audubon Center (Francis Bielder Forest). We have hatched and released over 50 bobwhite quail and continue to do so.
We offer farm tours, milking demonstrations, goat snuggling, birthday parties, weddings, cheese classes, wine and cheese tasting. Our sales include RAW milk, soft and aged (hard cheese), butter and eggs. We have special events such as fall festival, ghost walk in October and hay rides.
Every summer we accept a select number of students for a agri-business internship. Students are required to select a product, write a full business plan, marketing plan and actually work to bring that product to the market. 6 or 8 week program..
Plans for 2021, transition to Organic and open a Non-Profit section for our Goat and Donkey sanctuary.

Goat Milk Benefits

Farm Products Available for Sale
RAW Goat Milk 1/2 Gallon
$10.00 - $15.00
1/2 Gallon
We have been in business since 2016; licensed for RAW milk in 2017 and in pasteurized cheeses and aged cheese in 2020. We have worked for the last 4 years increasing our herd with selective breeding for health goats producing our signature ‘sweet’ milk.
Goat milk is the most commonly consumed type of dairy in the world. In fact, 65% to 72% of all dairy consumed globally is goat milk. This is partially due to the ease of keeping goats as opposed to cows in developing countries, where goat milk is an important source of calories, protein, and fats.

How does goat milk benefit skin?
While all milks have moisturizing properties, goat milk is particularly good because it:
- contains a high content of alpha-hydroxy acids which helps cleanse and soften skin;
- has a pH level that is closest to our own skin, making it gentle and skin-loving;
- has a fat molecule content that reduces skin inflammation;
- has a high level of vitamins D, C, B1, B6, B12, and E, that feed the skin and are absorbed into the body;
- is effective for treating acne because of its anti-bacterial properties.
And in general, handcrafted soaps are just better than commercial soaps because:
- they don’t contain harsh chemicals and petroleum products that can irritate the skin;
- they don’t contain alcohol which can dry the skin;
- the glycerin that is produced during saponification, which has deep moisturizing benefits, is left in the handmade soap but usually removed from commercial soap for use in other products.
