Anyone in eastern NC/SE VA with dairy goats?

Hi there--
We are considering getting into small scale dairy goats just for home use , animal feed and maybe a little soap making. But I really only want to do this if I like the taste of fresh raw goat milk. Of course I don't want to go through the trouble without having tried it. We are in NC about 45 minutes from the OUter Banks. We head to Raliegh and SE VA quite a bit. Is there anyone from this area who milks goats and would let me come by and have a little taste?
Thanks!
Alisa~

Goat's milk tastes great - no difference but better. A rare goat has off tasting milk, often caused by what they eat.
We are west of Richmond in VA - (5 hrs from you) plenty of people milking here. We have two does for sale, 2 months old & great milk lines.
