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, or our Australian
Shepherd). And we like to think that each of our eight children
is some combination of both productive 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.

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.
