Davis is the owner of Nuluv Goat Milk Products, a fast-growing brand of uniquely scented
goat-milk-based skin-care products. Headquartered in Center Point, Davis and her husband
run the largest hands-on goat milk dairy in Texas, which means no machines are used
on the goats or to make the goat-milk products.
"When I had my son, he had a really severe dairy allergy," Davis says. "We already
had a goat farm, and it didn't take much to expand to dairy goats. It really started
as something to fill the needs of my children."
Davis and her husband started their herd with Nubian goats because of the goats' inquisitive,
fun-loving personalities and sweet milk. Within a few years, the herd expanded, making
more milk than her family could use. So Davis began making and selling skin-care products
that catered to people with allergies or sensitivities to traditional milk. She dubbed
the line "Nuluv," a name that came from her husband, who gave her the Nubian goats
for Valentine's Day. Davis nicknamed them her "Nuluv Nubians."
While Nuluv started as a hobby, it is now a robust business with a studio in Center
Point and several employees. In recent months, Davis has expanded Nuluv to include
goat yoga, a new exercise trend. During goat yoga -- a 50-minute class with a certified
yoga instructor -- the playful animals jump on participants during poses. Davis even
offers goat picnics, where families can enjoy an outdoor meal and the company of baby
goats.
"Nuluv was never something that we planned," Davis says. "It's just a one-day-at-a-time
kind of business."
