Freshening continues. Now it's the yearlings turns. Why do they always get bred last? The oldest goats first? Which makes the beginning of freshening season a bit more difficult as older goats are prone to more complications during and after delivery. Now, since it is all the young goats kidding, we can sleep in without worry as their kidding usually happens with ease.
Our new interns, Lucas and Louisa, are taking to it all naturally. They spend half their time in our barn and cheese making facility, and the other half in their artist studio in Brandon, preparing for a huge show this month in Berlin, Germany.
Our employees, Jenn and Shell, are still rockin' out as they work with big smiles on their faces.
Hannah and I have emerged completely from any sense of a winter slumber we might have been in, to freshing goats every day, milking once again, and making tons of cheese, almost at full production.
And mixed in with all of that, we too, spend any extra hours in our painting studio on the second floor of our "new barn"(2007), hannah preparing for a show this July in Brandon, VT, and me, Greg, trying my best to keep up with that intensity, that spell that his wife Hannah seems to be under as she produces a brilliant series of works about our farm and life here in Leicester, VT.
