"I love knowing I am going to see them each week. Regardless of if I am tired or stressed, it has to happen, and is a welcome routine."

"Milking is the mental and emotional rejuvenation I need to get me through the rest of the week."

"I've talked and thought a lot about animal ethics in the past year, and I think that working with animals is one of the best ways in which to truly understand that relationship."

for Milk
Give one morning a week for a quart of creamy dream milk, May-Aug or Sept-Dec. We milk in the evenings and complete other chores in the morning, including herding the goats out to that day's pasture.
Make Soap & Cheese
We have monthly cheesemaking opportunities and seasonal soapmaking days. Choose to help with one of these events, learn the craft, and take home a handful of handmade soap or cheese in exchange.
