Morning Chores & Farm Breakfast (Book tickets now!)
Sat July 16, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Join Margaret and Karl for morning chores and a farm breakfast on Ten Apple Farm! You’ll meet and feed this year’s kid goats, and learn how to milk the mamas! We raise French Alpine dairy goats, and milk 4-5 goats by hand twice a day, every day — something we’ve been doing for 15 years. We start with an introduction to the goats and the farm, then meet and feed the other animals. On our diversified homestead, we have lots of critters: goats, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and miniature horses. We’ll tour the farm, feeding and watering the animals and talking about their care and the role each one plays. Then we’ll head to the farmhouse for a continental farm breakfast consisting of farm baked goodies, goat yogurt and homemade granola, goat cheese, goat milk, coffee, tea, and juice. After breakfast we’ll head out to the barn. You’ll help feed the goats, and learn how to milk them. Weather permitting, after milking we’ll put the goats out in their pasture.
