I love your goats and farm stories. I have goat envy but I live in the city. So I druel over Clover. I just ordered Clover’s calendar! Now I can have a goat in my house (at least her picture).

I just bought some goat cheese at the farmers market…dried tomato and garlic…I used it in a quiche with spinach, onion and cherry tomatoes…yum!

Hi, Jo! Yes, you can milk if you get milk goats. My Nigerian Dwarfs (Clover and Nutmeg) are milk goats. And coincidentally, I have a cheesemaking post for tomorrow!

Just reading your blog makes me want goats….but what is their practical purpose? I guess I’m the sort that will get something if it’s “practical”. I can’t help it. Do you milk them? If so, what do you use the milk for? I have never tried goats milk before, I’m afraid I wouldn’t like it. Convince me! We just moved to an acreage last January and I will be getting chickens in the spring. Can hardly wait!!!

yes they do!! how cute. I am extra in awe of your photograpy progress today. I was trying to take pictures of my grandaughter while pumpkin picking and it was a challenge. My digital pauses when you hit the button. Well, by the time it takes the damn picture, my beautiful grandaughter has stopped looking.

I just love your goats……Back in the Dark Ages when I was young my Grandfather had a cattle ranch in northern New Mexico and they had goats in the ranch house area. One visit, I had a fit to take a little black and brown sweet boy home with me. My Dad tried to say no but Grandfather’s are a power of nature all their own. We’ll we drove 2.5 hours in a sedan back to Albuquerque with this little darling pooping in my Dad’s new car. oops. When I went to school the next week, my little Nixie Pixie went to live on a farm in the valley. I was…..heartbroken. Some day, in my next life time, I’ll have goats or settle for watching yours be….well goats. Thanks.

I so want a goat, but Emma reminded me that they don’t allow them in apartments and, besides, she’s Queen Cat around here and wouldn’t allow a goat to live with us. Darn. So I’ll just keep reading your blog, drooling over your pictures (goats as well as food) and dreaming.

I don’t mean to belittle the molasses festival, but people should know that there will likely be a very small supply of molasses. Last year, they didn’t start making it until Saturday afternoon and expected to have just a few dozen quarts. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but a fellow there told me they used to sell maybe $20,000 worth every year—-last year was only a few hundred dollars. People don’t grow sorghum like they used to.
