Saanen Dairy Goat Farm

We had heard a lot about this goat farm at Balik Pulau, so last Saturday we decided to take a drive there to check it out. No, we did not go for durian as unfortunately for my hubby, all 3 of our girls take after me and don't eat durian! Even little Helene shook her head when it was offered to her lol.

So anyway we drove up to Balik Pulau and my parents came along too. It was quite easy to find with Waze. The road leading up to the farm is quite narrow, however our SUV managed to drive in without any problem.

We took a family picture but the girls were too distracted with the surroundings so they weren't looking at the camera haha. We dressed them in cool clothes and hats to protect from the sum as it was quite a hot day.


Entrance to the goat farm is free, and they also offer free grass which you can take to feed the goats. The girls did enjoy that very much.




Just Baby, me and Billy :)


The goats were very clean and well-kept.


This was the milking apparatus and we could see the goats being milked. No pictures of that as we were not standing near enough to the milking process.


They had some goat's milk items for sale, such as pudding, bread, and ice-cream. Hubby tried the pudding but he said the smell was way too strong. The kids enjoyed the ice-cream though (no surprises!) but it tasted just like normal ice-cream to me.


Besides the goats, there was also a lot of vegetation at the farm. We took some pictures of the winter melon plant and there was even a grape vine.



The crowds were starting to come in, so we didn't stay for much longer after that. All in all, it was a good educational experience for the kids!
