Who we are
About the farm
Since 2001 we have run our mountain goat farm at 560 metres in Sophienhof, in the Thuringian part of the Harz; on 80 hectares of mountain meadows we keep 100 dairy goats, 60 sheep, Tyrolean Grey cattle, horses, donkeys, pigs, organic hens and fallow deer as our main occupation. We process the milk in our own cheese dairy and slaughter our pigs on the farm; in our farm shop we offer goat cheese, homemade sausage, goat-milk ice cream and organic eggs, and in our Almstube we cook mainly with our own produce. We offer farm tours and rent out 12 holiday homes around the farm.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
