Welcome to
Cabri Creamery
A petite, French-style goat dairy in Northern Colorado, offering artisanal cheese and raw milk shares.
Herdshare Memberships
To access milk and cheese from our herd, you must join our herdshare program.
Colorado uses the herdshare program to distribute raw milk (think of it like a dairy CSA). The herdshare membership is a $30 lifetime fee, which represents an interest in our herd. Once a herdshare member, you pay a “boarding fee” and in exchange, receive milk or cheese services. Our boarding fee cycles run for eight weeks (you may choose to renew or stop boarding), with the exception of à la carte shares.
-
Our 2026 milk shares will begin in July (with limited shares available in June) and will continue through December.
Cheese shares will start in August and run through November.
We will also be offering à la carte cheese purchases as early/as long as supply is available!
Milk Share Dates (12-wk cycle):
Cycle #1 : July 6 - September 24 Cycle #2 : September 28 - Dec. 19
Cheese Share Dates (8-wk cycle):
Cycle #1 : August 7 - September 25 Cycle #2 : October 2 - November 20
**We offer special holiday cheese orders for both the Thanksgiving and month of December holidays.
-
Each share membership offers a weekly amount of fresh, raw milk or cheese that is picked up either directly from our dairy in Wellington, or at On the Vine Farm in Fort Collins.
-Wellington: Cabri Creamery - 11664 N. County Rd. 7 Wellington, CO 80549
-Fort Collins: On the Vine Farm - 3611 Richmond Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80526
Shareholders will self-select a set pick-up day during sign up, and will be responsible for picking up their share on this day for the duration of their share season.

You pay a “Boarding Fee” to board your portion of the herd with us and we provide a milking service for you in exchange. The boarding fee, as indicated below, is based on the share of milk you are entitled to receive each week as based on your share membership:
Boarding Option 1 - Full Ownership MILK Share : $240.00 - One Gallon of raw goat milk per week for 12 wks.
Boarding Option 2 - Half Ownership MILK Share : $120.00 - One Half Gallon of raw goat milk per week for 12 wks.
Boarding Option 3 - Quarter Ownership MILK Share : $60.00 - One Quart of raw goat milk per week for 12 wks.
Boarding Option 4 - Half Ownership CHEESE Share : $88.00 - One Half Pound of raw goat’s milk cheese (rotating between chèvre, ricotta or yogurt) per week for 8 wks.
Boarding Option 5 - À la carte Ownership Share : After paying a Herdshare Membership Fee, shareholders can order cheese “à la carte” from our weekly Google form. Cheese is priced by the pound and inventory varies.
The boarding fee is due in full upon registration via Venmo @Cabri-Goats (or we will accept cash or check on the first day of pick up).
We also accept SNAP & EBT!

About Cabri Creamery
Kristin Maxwell
owner, head shepherdess and cheesemaker
In 2013 I became interested in dairy goats and sought to learn the trade from anyone that would teach me. My curiosity led me to creameries around the U.S. and France, making unforgettable friends (goats and humans alike) and gaining priceless experiences.
I started shepherding my own herd 2021, thanks to Poudre Valley Community Farms, providing ecological grazing services to the City of Fort Collins. We moved our herd north of Wellington in 2024, where we now share acreage with Here and Now Farm.
Cabri translates to “kid” in French (as in goat kid). Our creamery is inspired by the pastoral cheesemaking traditions of rural France, where shepherds closely tend both their animals and their craft. Et oui; our goats are our family! We care for our small herd of American Alpine, Nigerian dwarf, and mini Alpine goats with their wellbeing in mind. When you consume our dairy products, you are supporting exceptionally thoughtful and humane livestock practices.
Cabri Creamery is committed to allowing our goats the freedom to browse! Native grasses and forbs make up a large part of their diet, which lends a lovely “goût de terroir” to their milk and our cheese.

Herd FAQ’s
-
Our herd is comprised of ADGA registered American Alpine does and Nigerian Dwarf bucks. We also have mini Alpines : the cross of standard Alpine and Nigerian Dwarf goats.
Nigerian Dwarfs are from Africa and Alpines originate from Switzerland and France. Alpines are hardy and playful and are high volume milk producers; Nigerian Dwarfs are cute and mischievous and their milk contains high butterfat (6-7 percent).
No matter the breed, our goats are well socialized and enjoy human company.
-
Our milking does are fed local, herbicide-free alfalfa hay and a local dairy goat grain from Cache La Poudre Feeds during their lactation.
Does and llamas have access to native pasture from sunrise to sun set, year round.
We feed our animals the best products possible, but do not guarantee 100% organic, soy-free, nor Non-GMO feed.
-
We annually vaccinate all of our goats for CD&T (Clostridium Perfringens & Types C & D Tetanus). Our herd is also CAE-negative (tested annually).
We only administer antibiotics to an animal who is seriously ill, and under the direction of our veterinarian. If a milking doe needs to receive antibiotics, their milk will not be used for human consumption until after the prescribed withdrawal date.
Bienvenue à la ferme!
We invite people of all ages and abilities to come visit our herd and connect with the French spirit of pastoralism.
