Greetings All
We’re a Large place with many veggies, medicinals, perennial plantings and Goatey Ma’s an hr from Staunton, Va.
You ask, how can they co- exist? With a Shepardess, my friend.
Goateys dwell in a large secure area, we go out for Browse walks 1-2x a day with our Great Pyrenees dog along miles of farm roads and edge.
6 Does are kidding in March- April brings 5-6 gal of milk a day for our herdshare market including cheese yogurt, kefir. Milking once a day by machine. All organic feed. Fun bunch of monkeys. Slow but lucrative market.
We’re working on a new community kitchen with private and common rooms.
Growing everything possible in zone 7. Lotsa small hoop houses & one large. Lotsa irrigation systems, lotsa water ! Lotsa room for your grow projects as well as help with ours. Value added, ferments, Sourdough, kitchen work is great for those hot afternoons. If you’ve never been above zone 4 the peppers & tomatoes are worth a trip.
Every cheese maker keeps pigs for consuming whey. Making different cheese 4-+ days a week.
This is not a ‘job’ we share our profits, provide food, shelter, your phone bill. Ver I son phone works best. Rural internet too high priced but Possible.
Best to have a car. Extra $% for Sat farmers mkt set up. Will train. Start Soon. Sorry, no minors.
Meanwhile, we’re growing feed for goats, rabbits, ducks & pigs. Have hay equip yet to polish n run. Enough tractor power to never lift 50#. Lotsa building materials and improvements everywhere.
Let us know your interest & questions.
Thanks, Best
Chris Bloom
