Wateroak Farm, owned and operated by Mark and
Pam Burow, has been in business since 1998. Their farm is a state
licensed and inspected dairy goat facility for producing raw
milk and cheese. They are nestled in the woods on Rabbit Lane
in the south end of Robertson County, Texas.
The Burows began raising dairy goats to supply
fresh milk for the family. The herd started off with the purchase
of two does and three kids. Soon the herd had grown to around
fifty goats and they recognized that the girls would have to
start earning their keep. So, a dairy facility was built and
licensed to legally sell dairy products. The herd now numbers
around ninety, that includes over fifty babies from this seasons
kidding.
Currently twenty-four does are being milked.
The goats browse on the native brush and are only fed a grain
supplement twice a day at milking time. The goats are mostly
Nubian and Nubian crosses. Once a year the goats are tested in
order to qualify as a State Certified tuberculosis and brucellosis
free herd.
The farm sells fresh, Raw Dairy Goat Milk (fluid & frozen),
Yogurt, Super Premium Ice Cream, and a Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
in Plain, Herb & Garlic, Tomato & Basil and Jalapeno flavors.
The Burow’s
goal is to provide natural, wholesome, great tasting products
for their customers.
