About us

Lovers Retreat Farm and licensed Grade A Dairy are located on the Middle Peninsula of eastern Virginia.  Started as a homestead in 1984, the farm has a new barn facility housing the dairy - and scattered across the farm roam Nubian and Alpine goats who produce kids and milk year around. 

We milk the small herd to make fine farmstead goat cheese in small batches.  This ensures a quality artisanal cheese with exceptional flavor.  We produce classic chevre, fromage blanc and feta and also delicious flavored cheeses with fresh herbs and spices.  Contact us by email, call us at O.A.S.I.S., Inc. (804)758-5094 or drop by our store during the weekdays to purchase cheese:

Lovers Retreat Farm specializes in raising pure bred and percentage dairy goats.  As members of the American Dairy Goat Association, we strive to produce top quality animals. Contact us for goat sales. 

Our farm also produces our own brown eggs from numerous free-range Black SexLink, Barred Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island Red hens.  We also sell duck, goose and guinea eggs from our flock of Mallard ducks, Embden geese and Lavender Guineas.  Contact us for local egg sales. 

We also raise Belted Galloways.  These medium-sized, polled beef animals are unrivaled as a grazing breed utilizing coarse grasses other breeds would shun. They are able to maintain good condition on less than ideal pasture, and easily produce an exceptionally lean and flavorful meat on grass alone. Contact us for beef sales.

We also wish to contribute to our unique environment.  We hatch and raise Mallard ducklings for release into the Dragon Run, a 90,000 acre watershed at the headwaters of the Piankatank River which is the most pristine body of water in Virginia.
