Sherman Creek Farm

Sherman Creek Farm raises mini alpine and nigerian dwarf goats in Vashon, WA, in the Puget Sound near Seattle. Karie Sherman has been developing a registered dairy herd for over a decade and maintains listings with the American Dairy Goat Association. It follows comprehensive health testing protocols and consults with local veterinarians to ensure each animal meets breed standards.

Kids and does are housed in roomy shelters with daily turnout on rich island pastures where natural browse complements their diet. Early socialization and gentle handling are part of the routine from the first week of life, which Karie Sherman says leads to calm temperaments. The farm operates on principles of low-stress management and sustainable land use that reflect a lifelong commitment to pastoral care. Milk yields are valued for their richness and balance, often sought by local soap makers and artisans. Several owners mention the steady production and friendly nature of the herd.
