Blessed are the Cheesemakers!

As everyone knows who keeps goats, spring is the busiest time with milking, feeding babies and making goat's milk products!  Here is our newest herd member and the first to bear our name : Spring Mtn Farm Belle.  We are also keeping an unregistered doe named Julianna out of Stone Pillars x Cossayuna bloodlines but sadly the dam is unregistered.

Julianna is going to be a big girl and her mother was giving 12 lbs at peak so we are thrilled to see what she will do.

Off to new homes are Darwin (Rocky X Sally) and Licorice (Cossayuna x Stone Pillars again).




They make a nice little pair!  I'm just about ready to wean everyone. We are coming up on 12 weeks and then, all the milk is going into my Queso Blanco with basil and garlic and my yogurt cheese with garlic and dill.  Look for it at the St. J Coop and the Freighthouse in Lyndonville, or contact me here to try some.
