Lovers Retreat Farm

Lovers Retreat Farm and licensed Grade A Dairy are located on the Middle Peninsula of eastern Virginia making fine farmstead goat cheese in small batches. This ensures a quality artisanal cheese with exceptional flavor from milk supplied daily from our own goat herd which otherwise roams freely, grazing on pasture. No antibiotics or growth hormones are used. We produce classic chevre, feta and delicious specialty cheeses.

Lovers Retreat Farm also specializes in raising pure bred and percentage dairy goats. Our herd is currently comprised of Nubians and Alpines. As members of the American Dairy Goat Association, we strive to produce top quality animals which are for sale throughout the year.

Lovers Retreat Farm also produces brown eggs from numerous free-range Black SexLink, Barred Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island Red hens. We also sell duck, goose and guinea eggs from our flock of Mallard ducks, Embden geese and Lavender Guineas.

Lovers Retreat Farm also raises Belted Galloways, a medium-sized, polled beef animal maintaining good condition on pasture, and easily produce an exceptionally lean and flavorful meat. The cattle and goats are all grass-fed and pasture-raised. Our meat is all natural. No hormones are used; no animal by-products are fed to our cattle or goats. We adhere to the Humane Standards of Treatment with all of our animals.

We market all of our products directly from the farm. In addition, we work with several local retailers that carry our products. We also attend several farmer’s markets in the Middle Peninsula/Northern Neck area of Virginia.
