It has been a pretty relaxing week here at the farm...definitely the calm before the storm. Friday morning Scott, Nate, Katie and I worked in the cheese plant packing cheese and making mozzarella for the market on Saturday. Jen and I went to market Saturday morning and had a great time! The sun was warm and lots of people bought cheese. I met a lot of customers.
Right now, we're still in winter market mode. We only go once a month on the last Saturday of the month. So our next market will be the last Saturday in April. Full time market swings into action on the following Saturday, May 2nd. By then most of the goats will be producing milk and the cheese plant should be in full operation.
I also spent more time getting to know the ladies this week. Elsa will freshen (kid) first this week on Thursday. Chips follows her on Saturday and Pleasure is scheduled for Sunday. I'm not sure if they will actually stick to the schedule or not, but I'm ready for some kids! We went over the lists of names this afternoon. Jen has a list of themes for each goat. Each generation gets its own theme. Elsa's kids will all be flowers. Their kids will be trees and so on.
Sweet...didn't know you had a blog. Yay for kids...I played with a couple new borns today post C-section. Too cute!
