Situated in the Salt Lake Valley in West Jordan, Utah, about 10 miles
from Salt Lake City to the north, Drake Family Farms milks profits from
a herd of dairy goats, enduring the rapidly changing landscape of
agriculture and land use. A Utah Century Farm owned by Jeanette and Ron
Drake, Drake Family Farms specializes in goats milk products, including

4-H project -- and operates a licensed USDA Grade A commercial dairy on
site to process their high quality products.
