Internship information

General Farm Description: We are a community-run small-scale woodland goat dairy. Our Nubian milking does are co-owned by our herdshare, and we have a thriving work-learning barter-ship program . We make herbal-infused goatmilk soap and host spring baby goat cuddles and year-round goat hikes. We have a reverence for our herd's wisdom and they harvest their own food and medicine during the growing season, supplemented by local hay and grain.
