Five acres, fifty-plus goats, and fifteen years of figuring it out.
Left Foot Farm is a working goat dairy, a licensed Grade A facility, and a place where people come to slow down. We raise goats, make milk, host guests, and train the next generation of small-scale farmers.
It started with a few goats and a lot of learning.
Left Foot Farm started as a small goat dairy. Over more than fifteen years, it grew into what it is today: a licensed Grade A dairy, a farm-stay destination with three cabins, a teaching farm with an intern program, and a retail operation selling at farmers markets across the Seattle area.
The farm sits on five acres in Eatonville, Washington, at the base of Mount Rainier. The mountain is visible from everywhere on the property. The herd has grown to over fifty goats across Nigerian Dwarfs, Nubians, Mini Nubians, LaManchas, and several crosses. We also keep chickens, ducks, and geese.
None of this was planned from the start. The farm grew because we kept saying yes to the next good idea and doing the work to make it real. The cabins came because guests kept asking if they could stay. The intern program came because people kept asking if they could learn. The dairy licensing came because we wanted to do it right.
Family Farm
Left Foot Farm is a family-run dairy at the base of Mount Rainier, built over the past fifteen years from a small goat operation into a licensed Grade A dairy, farm stay destination, and teaching farm that’s hosted over 1,200 interns.
Jeremy and Kim lead the daily farming operation, from milking to herd management to mentoring interns, but the farm is very much a family and intern effort. From early mornings in the barn to evenings around the property, it’s a place shaped by shared work, routine, and a connection to the land.
If you visit the farm, you’re not just visiting a business—you’re stepping into a real, working family farm.
The goal of Left Foot Farm is helping people reconnect with their food and the people who produce it. We intentionally remain a smaller niche farm focused on quality. Farming constantly evolves, and we believe in learning, adapting, and getting our hands dirty while doing it.
Over 1,200 interns and counting.
Left Foot Farm is an intern-led farm. We typically have six to eight interns on the farm at any given time, working about 30 to 32 hours per week in exchange for room and board. They learn milking, herd management, dairy operations, animal care, and what it actually takes to run a small farm.
People come for all kinds of reasons. Pre-veterinary training, culinary farm-to-table experience, aspiring farmers, gap-year students, or simply people wanting a break from city life. Some stay for two weeks, some stay for two years. Either way, they leave knowing how this works in practice, not just in theory.
We also welcome applicants through the WWOOF program, for those interested in organic farming exchange opportunities.
