Really cool goat farm

While I was looking at the thread about the 300 goats for sale in Vermont, I googled Vermont goat farms. This is the one I want to visit! They sell caramels made from goat milk.

Vermont is very beautiful. I have been there several times. Hubby is from there. I have seen several cow dairies but I never noticed the goat dairies. Vermont is full of little homey gift shops and neat places to see.

Going up to Vt. next year for DH's 55 high school reunion, Townsend is not that far from Plymouth/Ludlow area. I wonder if maybe I could visit them.

All they can say is 'no', Nancy. Let us know if you do visit.

(btw, Silias is awesome on the milkstand for hoof trimming. Quickest one to do!)
