Welcome to Hope Hill Farm!

We’re Amy & Matt Parmer, and this slice of creation is our family’s way to honor God. On our 13-acre homestead, you’ll find apple trees, berry bushes, a bee yard, and a large garden. We’ve got more animals on the farm than we can keep count of. Some are productive (like our working livestock guardian dog Annie and the chickens and ducks in our coop), while some are just plain cute (like our rabbit, Napoleon). And we like to think that each of our eight children is some combination of both productive and cute. With everything going on at Hope Hill Farm, the not-so-secret favorite is our beloved herd of Nigerian Dwarf Goats.

For all the goat-people out there, you’ll appreciate that we have an active and award-winning performance herd, which participates in linear appraisal, milk-testing, ADGA-sanctioned shows, and in 4-H settings. When it comes to our herd, we’re constantly striving to improve the breed for the show ring and put more milk in the pail.

To translate for those outside the goat world: we work hard to make sure our goats are the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time).

Whether we’re selling springtime kids to other goat enthusiasts, winning awards for our goats at shows, or making useful products out of goat milk, our goats are the clear stars of Hope Hill Farm.

Maahhh, hi i'm Pepper!

Amy and Jessica's Soap Story...

Years ago, my best friend Jessica and I were on a mission to find home and skincare products that were better than the chemical-laden junk found at the store. My background in veterinary medicine and my herd of top-notch goats coupled with Jessica’s crafty mastermind made us perfect partners in creating useful, beautiful things out of goat milk.

We began reading, researching, and experimenting, and after months spent perfecting the craft, Hope Hill Farm soap products were born! Now you can pull up to the farm any ole day and find the two of us at the stovetop in our soap shop or carefully wrapping labels on our products.

Like most besties, Jessica and I have shared values and interests, and you’ll see our hearts throughout the work we do. From keeping our business God-centered to ensuring we’re constantly finding ways to be eco-friendly, we’re always on the same page when it comes to values. Best of all, our families tend to meld into one, and the soap business is one great big family affair.

We hope to invite you into the family as you fall in love with what Hope Hill Farm has to offer, including the incredible benefits of goat milk products.
