Welcome to
Royal Highlands Dairy & Produce !
Royal Highlands
is a small family farm located in beautiful North Idaho. We are centrally
located just a short 45 minutes from Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Sandpoint,
or Spokane We seek to produce
all products as naturally as possible. We start with mostly Certified
Organic seed for our plants and we do not use any pesticides or insecticide sprays
on our garden. When we cannot
find certified organic products, we try to find naturally grown instead.
Below is a brief overview of our products.
Milk: Starting in 2010,
we received our permit as Idaho's 12th Raw Goat Milk Dairy. Our raw milk is not
pasteurized, homogenized, added to or altered in any way. It is double
filtered and chilled down below 40* within about 30-40 minutes sealing it in
quart jars for freshness. We believe that milk
produced from animals that live in a
natural environment and left in it's natural state is the most
healthy milk possible. Our Goat milk comes from the 7 best does in our herd
of almost 80 animals. They are picked to be on our dairy
string for their high quality and best tasting milk. They are a combination of
mostly Nubians, and some Saanens and Alpines. They are fed the best 2nd
cutting Alfalfa
hay we can find, and have access to acres of pasture and forage year round.
They are fed a 16% grain ration at milking time, in addition
to produce from the garden, apples in the fall when available and a mineral mix
that is specially designed for a goat's best health.
Pudding: We
make pudding from our own Fresh Raw milk, Farm Fresh eggs, and Organic cane
sugar. Currently we are selling Vanilla and Chocolate Chip flavors.
Cheese: So far
we are selling a Basil/Garlic Chevre. You can use it as a spread for
crackers or bread, add it to your tacos or eggs, or sprinkle it over your
salad just to name a few uses.
Eggs: You will
love our Farm Fresh Eggs, deep orange yokes that stand up in a pan with lots
of flavor. Great for baking your favorite goodies. Our chickens are Free
Range Happy Hens with Royal Roosters (of course) to guard over them.
Bread:
We sell a whole wheat bread that is golden brown, light and fluffy.
We use
certified organic wheat (and grind it fresh for every loaf) and local honey.
We have been making this same bread recipe for our family for over 10 years
and are delighted to share it's goodness. We also make a Scandinavian bread
called "Nisu" which is a braided sweet bread.
Granola:
Chunky, Chunky, Chunky : ) Made with Organic oats, Local Honey and Olive
