Details

Morgan and Chad Beckwith have been raising and grazing goats since 2016, producing raw goat milk for kefir, yogurt, and various kinds of cheese. Meet the goats and learn about herd health, grazing management for milk production and parasite resistance, tending mammas, kidding, and kid-raising. See Ice House Farm’s regenerative practices to sequester carbon and increase biodiversity in action. Ask questions about problem solving livestock management and being thoughtful caretakers of land and beast. This workshop is co-hosted with and has support from the Vermont Sheep & Goat Association.
