We have the land, the barn, the skills and the time... now we need the goats.
A good registered Goat from known healthy stalk and good milk production lines is 300$+
A good milker produces a gallon +/- a day. Goats are herd animals and are more healthy and happy with company. Looking at numbers, being a beginner and wanting to make a bit of income...it looks like starting a herd of 3 or 4 goats makes the most sense...plenty of room to expand once systems get in place and running smoothly.
Here's where you come in and how many a CSA ( Community Supported Agriculture) farm works.
Often a Larger fee is given to the farmer at the beginning of the season, and then throughout the growing season, the customer comes and gets a box/bag of whatever is available that week. It's a nice way to help farmers who are often running on "shoestrings" after the slow winter, get a good and healthy planting going in the spring and assures a good variety of vegetables for the supporter throughout the growing season.
With that said.... Would you like to sponsor a Goat? ~Half a goat?
~with your money coming back to in weekly Goat milk, and Goat milk products?
Including Soft cheeses, goat milk Keifers, Cheesecakes and other delights?
We are hoping to get a small Dairy up and running asap!
I will be sharing our CSA membership agreements in a post soon.
Again thanks for stopping by~ please feel free to leave comments,
Especially if you are wanting to be a Member and sponsor a goat!
