I get so much joy milking my goat and making things from her milk. It feels like prayer, meditation, communion. It has a timeless feel to it, as though I've done it for years and not just 3 months. Your cheese info has helped me immensely in my cheesemaking journey! You're awesome!

I have been spending a lot of time with my own goats recently, working with them on the land, observing and ruminating on that honest embodiedness of Goat that you describe, and how much we can learn from them. Your last paragraph encapsulates it perfectly.

Wonderful read, so excited you will be going to Norway. I will be going as well in October leading a group of cheese professionals. Looking forward to follow in some of your footsteps.

Thanks Carlos, I am excited to explore things there, with the help of the folks at Norse Gardsost who are setting me up with makers.

Thanks Lisa, and I appreciate you restacking this post! Although I've written quite a bit on this platform, I haven't connected with many folks through it, and don't really know how to use all the tools available. Do you have any suggestions for how I can learn more??
