Bindi Farms is a small family farm located in the Santa Ynez wine country. They are a vegetarian farm and use animal welfare-centered farming practices such as milk sharing with the goat kids and calves. For herdshare members they offer raw goat's milk from their standard and mini Nubian goats, Belfair and Jersey cows, as well as a rotating selection of raw cultured yogurt, kefir, buttermilk, and cheeses. The farm also sells rainbow chicken eggs from heritage breeds, pastured duck eggs, miniature Southdown Babydoll sheep, Kune Kune pigs, apples, and exotic poultry and waterfowl. In 2022 they will also be offering on site private farm events with their friendly animals for birthday parties, special events, and educational workshops.

Herdshares are available for this herd of heritage breed British Guernsey goats. $10 buy-in per share, $2-4 jar deposit per share, and $16-18/month per share boarding fee (price subject to change year by year depending on feed costs). One share = approximately 1 quart of milk per week (can vary depending on time of year but is often slightly more). Goats are fed organic (or GMO-free if organic is unavailable) grain/alfalfa mix on the milking stand, free range grazing and mixed grass/legume hay. They are not Certified Organic but strive to maintain as natural and chemical free herd as is possible. Free pint available for sample during the milking season (April-November) but must be picked up at farm. See other places where you can find products from this farm.
