This is my first blog entry. Not sure how I'm going to like this, but I will certainly give it a whirl.
I currently own a small licensed goat dairy in central Kentucky (www.foxhidefarm.com). I share the farming responsibilities with my best friend Kendal Butler. We share most of the farm chores.
The herd consists mostly of American Alpine goats with a handful of Toggenburgs thrown in as well as a few recorded grades. The milk is shipped to Susan Miller's farm in Winchester, Kentucky (www.bleugrasschevre.com) where it is turned into delicious chevre, soft spreadable cheese. Susan currently markets her cheese at the Lexington Farmers' Market as well as select restaurants in Lexington.
I will try to post from time to time as events happen on the farm and will attept to post some photos as well.
The first kids of the season were due yesterday. I don't expect them to arrive for another day or two though. It would have been nice for them to be born during the warm weather the last few days, but I would expect they will come during a very cold spell.
Until next time,
Todd
