Roanoke Lynchburg, VA, November 9, 2026 — Seven Gables Farm & Apiary, located in Hardy, Virginia, has introduced a new herd share program focused on providing access to raw goat milk. The program features Nigerian Dwarf goats, a breed known for its milk production qualities.

This model is often used as a way for consumers to access raw milk, which is subject to varying regulations depending on the state.

The company’s name is Seven Gables Farm & Apiary, and its location is Hardy, Virginia.
Nigerian Dwarf goats are favored in many small-scale dairy operations due to their manageable size and high butterfat content in their milk. The focus on milk production and health benefits, including the distinction of A2 milk, suggests the farm is catering to consumers interested in the nutritional aspects of raw dairy products.
