Workshop Helps Farmers Do the Math to Start a Goat Dairy
Morrisville—Farmers and others who are interested in learning about the

“Doing the Math: Financials for Starting a Goat Dairy” will be held at
the University of Vermont (UVM) Extension office in Morrisville, Vermont
from 12:45 to 4:45 p.m.
At the workshop, farmers and consultants will share their budgets and

Anyone wishing to learn more about the financials of starting a goat

materials. Please make your check or money order payable to “UVM” and
send it to the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture, 63 Carrigan
