We are a small family operation on the shores or Lake Winnecook (aka Unity Pond) in Burnham.

CopperGoat Farm

Our daughters showed dairy goats in 4H growing up and our current herd of Toggenburgs are descended from their original does. As part of the 4H goat project one year we undertook to learn how to make goatsmilk soap and that craft has "stuck". At the Unity Market we offer handcrafted goatsmilk soap, unscented or scented with pure essential oils; early cut flowers; asparagus in season (when it cooperates); and the occasional goat hide.
