Welcome!

I hope you enjoy reading this blog. I will never claim to be an expert on cheese making, goat milking or farming (everyday I learn something new). However, I have learned so much from others who have generously shared their experience in books and on the web and hope to use this blog to pass it on to folks considering goats. I am completely enchanted by these creatures and how they have enriched our life. The amount I have learned since we got our first two goats has been exponential. Now our herd of 21 Nigerian Dwarf Goats is a big part of our daily life and I can't imagine it any other way. This blog will chart the seasons of milking and cheese making as a record for myself and a resource to others who are looking for a window into what it is like to own these adorable mini dairy goats.

Day 3

1 CUP of milk from from Chianti + A nice note from a woman who has an online goat blog=HAPPINESS. It takes so little to get the wings of hope beating again. This morning Chianti was actually relaxed and let me milk out the udder the kids have been ignoring. Bonnie, well, let's just say the award for bucking bronco goat of the century is still hers hands down. Read today that a Nigerian Dwarf goat can give 2 quarts a day. Half a gallon! That means goat cheese is still in reach. I even read that one family with 2 goats had so much milk that they got fat on goat cheese in their first year of milking. Sounds Creamy...I mean Dreamy!

We welcome comments, questions and ideas! The greatest part of small farming is how much we can all learn from each others experiences!
