Goats 101 Class Saturday August 13th, 10am!

This month we are again offering our popular Goats 101 class! We’ll focus on goats as pets or dairy, land clearing, and proper fencing. This class is family friendly, with opportunities to brush the goats, and get a squirt or two of milk out of the does, too!

The class will cover handling goats, goat health check, trimming hooves, basic goat care, milking, and fencing. We will share the materials we’ve developed such as a goat health checklist, goat care calendar, and a list of suppliers.

The class is Saturday, August 13th, 10am-12pm. The cost is $20/person or $40/family. Contact us now to reserve your spot in the class.

FREE Chicken Processing Class, Saturday, August 20th, 9am!

Come join us on August 20th for our Chicken Processing day! We have about 25 freedom ranger chickens that will be processed, allowing you to participate and learn the entire process. We will show you what you need to know so that you can raise your own meat poultry and process them. This includes dispatching, plucking, cleaning, packaging, and chilling. Don’t worry if you are uneasy about some of the steps, there are plenty of ways to participate and learn.

We are really excited to share our experience with this batch of meat chickens with you. We tried something new this time with them by having them be completely free-range (no portable pens) in our goat pastures in the woods and the results have been incredible! You’ll definitely want to see the results and learn how you too can raise your own delicious free-range chicken with very little feed input.

The chicken processing will be Saturday, August 20th, at 9am. Contact us now to reserve your spot in the class. This class will fill up quickly so get your reservation in soon!
