snack time in the barn

If it's too blustery for a walk, we bring the browse to them.
Fresh trees in February - perfect winter snacking.  Happy girls!

farmstead cheese

Ash ripened aged goat cheese.  I'm addicted to this stuff.  Milk production is steady so the cheese cellar is being put to good use.

Rest in Peace sweet Mizi.  She recently died at age 11, and will be missed.  She was owned by Sugar Moon Farm in Vermont, Old Mountain Farm & Feather and Scale Farm in Maine.  An amazing dairy goat, she passed on solid dairy characteristics in so many of her progeny in the Northeast.  She is g-dam to one of our favorite does, Calabash, several of whom's offspring we have also retained.  She had a great life with people who truly loved and cared for her.  Her genetics live on.
