GOATS GALORE!






We are happy to announce that Monte Azul’s herd of goats has moved into their new home. As I have out lined in previous entries, this new goat house has been under construction for months. And like many new homes, the goats moved in before it was completed. There are still a few items that need to be finished but the goats do not seem to mind.

Shortly after the adult goats moved into the new abode, the new baby goats arrived. It has been quite bountiful. Over a week’s time, 12 baby goats were born. The final tally is 9 boys and 3 girls. They are adorable. They are now running and jumping and climbing up on everything, even people. We have imprinted them on humans from the first few hours from birth to ensure that they are friendly and like human interaction.

Our hotel guests have loved visiting, petting and playing with the new arrivals. Our guests have also enjoyed the fresh chevre, feta, mozzarella and yogurt that we make using the bounty of goat’s milk that we now have on hand. Goat camembert is on the works too. I will let you know how it turns out in approximately 2 months.
