    History

    Mission: All natural goat husbandry and crop management

    The JZN Goat Farm is owned and managed by an Adams County resident who grew up is Winchester, Ohio. The JZN Goat Farm was conceived by Gayla Fritzhand with the help of her sons Jeremy, Zachary, and Nicholas.
  • DELICIOUS GOAT CHEESE AVAILABLE NOW!

    Gayla's goats are groomed daily and fed on her custom blend of local grains. They browse on rich lespedeza, a legume, and she milks all the girls twice a day and keeps their housing in tiptop cleanliness. She is the only licensed natural cheese manufacturer in the region. She studied the art of farmstead and artisan cheese making with Peter Dixon, a well known Vermont cheese maker. Please call 937-544-6735 to talk to Gayla about current cheese availability.
