About us

We're Jeff, & Chad... sometimes called the "Gay Goat Guys" ...we've been a couple for 31 years! ...we've been raising dairy goats for 14 years. In 2011, we completely reinvented our lives, moving from the city to a beautiful, historic farm, on a dirt road in rural Ohio.(Chad was dragged kicking and screaming) When we started raising goats we knew our farm would be different. Most "dairy" farms will cull animals from the herd (usually send to auction or slaughter), when they are no longer producing..or if they have never produced. Our way of doing things is different ..we run our farm and business on compassion. Babies are kept with their mothers...we only take milk that's left after the babies have what they need; we don't base an animal's worth on what they produce..or if they produce. Once a goat has retired from milking...they simply continue their life here as before...they are part of the family. We hope to be a voice for "livestock" ..to make people aware that these animals are intelligent, loving, funny, feeling..and valid..simply for who they are. They are all unique personalities, and form strong bonds with each other, with occasional ducks or chickens...and us. We hope you will love our amazing soap! We also offer goat sponsorships, and donation options, because our "Goats First" business model is our passion. Thank you for your love and support. The guys & the goats.

Another side of Tilton Hollow is about helping you escape the real world for a bit..

Remember when you were a kid and you could just lose yourself in your own little world of make-believe?
Whatever it was....wherever it took you..whatever it was helping you escape from. It was fun, it made you happy.

As we get older it's easy to lose that sense of wonder, that imagination that helps you find moments of escape into that make-believe world where anything is possible..and everything can just as wonderful as you want it to be.

Tilton Hollow is very real....real history, real goats, real work, real challenges, real love, real determination, really good products.

But Tilton Hollow is also about helping you find that sense of wonder, that world of make-believe that can help you recharge to keep fighting the good fight.

Tilton Hollow is a world where goats play canasta, they love their whiskey, their Guinness...they even love Shirley’s famous fruitcakes (Yes..Shirley’s a goat)
They bicker over when is too early to take down Shirley’s fall barn decor and put up Christmas decorations, Gabriella always accuses Janet of cheating at canasta...and all the goats (and Farmer Jeff) constantly get lectures about their online shopping habits.

We want to help you find that escape again....lather up, or light one of our candles...and think of all the ridiculous things the goats are doing right that moment.

We don't just make soap...we make make-believers! ™️
