Welcome to Little Goat Farm.

My name is Yura Okamoto and I run a little goat farm that happens to be called, well, “Little Goat Farm” – some of us are not very good at naming things…
That’s me on the left there, by the way.
We are located next to Lake Kizaki in Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The farm is, in fact, small – usually around ten goats, although during the birthing season we can get up to twenty kids as well.
The cheese matures in a cheese cave we built a couple of years ago.
Took us half a year – stones and bricks and lots of sweat. I wonder why the government still hasn’t designated it an Important Cultural Property. Clearly an oversight.

Want to visit the farm?

Our goats are friendly, the view is superb, there is a big trampoline for kids (human ones) and we can usually serve some goat milk to those who make it all the way here. You can also try our cheese and buy some if you like it. Just make sure you contact us beforehand to make sure there is someone around to welcome you.

Also feel free to contact us if you live in Japan and want to purchase some goats. If you are just starting and wish to learn from somebody else’s mistakes, I offer a comprehensive study tour of the farm (both in Japanese and in English). We’ll cover goathouse construction, feed, diseases, parasites, kidding, milking, breeding, hoof trimming and such. If you live far from us, you can opt for the online version, although you won’t get the milking/hoof trimming/goat scratching practice. The course will not make you mistake-immune, but will definitely save you a lot of time, trouble and money.

Make sure you don’t miss our donation box – all proceeds go to goat feed.
Pay when you leave depending on your mood, condition of your wallet, moon phase, or whatever informs your everyday decisions.
At least 2000 yen per adult, 1000 yen per child is expected, and anything above that earns you lifelong gratitude of me and the goats – if you feel like getting rid of a wad of bills, don’t deny yourself (and us) the pleasure.
