An Off-the-Beaten-Path Guide to Hay Dairies Goat Farm
Got milk—goat milk, to be exact?
If you haven’t (yet), I suggest visiting Hay Dairies goat farm for the kind of quirky, off-the-beaten-path spot that turns a regular day into an unexpected adventure.
From the tricky art of milking to discovering goats love alfalfa as much as we love bubble tea, there’s plenty to learn here—so let’s hoof it over!
History and Background
Hay Dairies started back in 1988 when Mr. Hay How Yang decided to bring a bit of rural charm to Singapore with just a handful of goats from the U.S. Fast forward to today, and this little farm in Lim Chu Kang has grown into a haven with over 800 goats, producing some of the freshest milk in town.
What I love about Hay Dairies is how it’s kept it all in the family, focusing on sustainable farming while welcoming visitors to experience the fun of feeding and milking their friendly goats. It’s a slice of countryside life right in our own backyard!

Things to Do
Witness milking sessions

If you’ve ever wondered how fresh goat milk ends up in your glass, the milking sessions at Hay Dairies are a must-see. Swing by between 9 AM and 11 AM, and you’ll catch the goats lining up like clockwork, each waiting for their turn to be milked.
You’ll get to see the entire process up close, from the gentle herding of the goats to the milking itself, which is done using modern equipment to ensure hygiene and quality. It’s surprisingly calming to watch.
Feed goats

Feeding the goats at Hay Dairies turned out to be the highlight of my visit! For just S$5, you can grab a bag of alfalfa hay from the farm shop, and trust me, the goats know exactly what you’re holding.
I found that the best spots for feeding are near the shaded pens in the barn area. It’s where the goats seem the most relaxed and curious. Just remember to hold the hay out flat on your palm; they’re gentle but enthusiastic eaters!
Meet kids

Wandering over to the area where the baby goats (or “kids,” as they’re called) hang out was one of the best parts of my visit. These little ones are so full of energy, hopping around and playing with each other like they’re in their own world.
If you’re lucky, you might even catch a few of the tiniest kids getting bottle-fed, which just adds an extra dose of sweetness to the whole farm experience.
Go on an educational farm tour

If you’re keen to dive deeper into farm life, the educational tour at Hay Dairies is the way to go. The tour walks you through everything from the history of the farm to the daily routines of the goats, including what they eat, how they’re cared for, and the importance of sustainable farming practices.
For groups of 10 or more, you’ll need to book in advance, which costs about S$5 per person. It’s a great value, especially for families or school groups looking to combine education with a bit of adventure.
Sample fresh goat milk

Trying fresh goat milk at Hay Dairies is like tasting the farm’s essence in a single sip! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was hooked by one taste of that creamy, chilled goodness. It’s rich, smooth, and surprisingly mild—nothing like the goat cheese tang I imagined.
For the more adventurous, there are flavoured options too—think chocolate or strawberry goat milk. And if you find yourself becoming a fan, you can even order their milk for delivery.
Shop for goat milk products and souvenirs

I couldn’t leave Hay Dairies without checking out their little farm shop which has a variety of goat milk products that make great souvenirs or gifts. I ended up grabbing a few bottles of fresh goat milk soap, which smells incredible and feels super gentle on the skin—perfect for anyone who loves natural skincare!
There are also goat milk lotions and creams, which I had to resist buying in bulk because they were so tempting. The shop is filled with unique goodies, like adorable goat-themed merchandise and even some quirky souvenirs to remember your visit.
