Love is in the air!

With the cool temps, our goats are thinking of next year's babies. Breeding season has started!!! Hopefully, this year will be better than last - only a few of the girls got bred. From what I saw yesterday, we should do a lot better next year. Be sure to check our Blog next year for updates on the new babies. Goats carry their babies for 5 months, so next February should be a very busy month!

Also, with this cooler weather, we are starting to slow down our milk production. I am only milking one goat and she is providing me enough milk to freeze for soap and lotion during the winter months. I normally stop milking in November to give the goats (and me!) a much needed rest.

Our farmer market season is also winding down. The Anderson Market will close this Saturday, October 10 and Hyde Park will close on Sunday, October 25. During the off-season, you can still purchase the soaps, lotions and jams directly from me or visit the 3 retailers that carry our products - Bethel Feed & Grain (carries our soaps), Keegan's Seafood (carries our jams, chcken and duck eggs) and Sunrock Farm (carries our soaps, lotions and jams). We are currently looking for other retail outlets.
