Beautiful post Trevor.

Could you share the goats’ daily routine?

How long are they outside? Is there shepherding involved?

They sleep out unfenced, the morning I was there they had slept under and inside a small shed as shelter from rain. After milking they head out to browse freely. No herder. This is the common pattern for summer farms in Norway, for cows or goats. Maybe you have to go find or call them for milking.

Thank you! Amazing that they are free to roam. Goes against the American cheesemaking/farmstead paradigm- locked in a barn, babies separated, food rationing/paddock system.

Much more personal approach than just the text. Also less overwhelming (14 mins vs scrolling for an unknown amount). And frees consumption to include being on the move versus stuck to a screen. However one misses the beautiful visual artwork that accompanies text.

Alright you got me. I'm actually drooling here and I will pay to listen to you talk about milk and cheese. Also I'm with you on butter. Bread is merely a delivery vessel.
