"Jay & Annie,

Thank you so very much for your hospitality over the weekend at the straw bale workshop. I had a wonderful time.

Thank you for sharing a bit of your lives, and all your wisdom on straw bales, rammed earth tire foundations, and more. The time spent together, both with you and the fellow participants, was very inspiring.

~ Craig Hammond, Philadelphia, PA

Just this repeat

Saturday, July 14 2012, 1:00pm - 4:00pm

(Registration fee, $45 per person)

Goat keeping is an amazing process that brings the keeper and the goats into a partnership. At Blue Rock Station our milk goats and their offspring add vitality and often humor to life on the farm.

If you’re thinking about starting your own herd, want to know more about natural goat health, or just want to spend the afternoon with these terrific critters then this workshop is for you. Plus, what do you do when you have quite a lot of milk when the goats are fresh?

The basics of being a goat keeper, and what to do with the kids and milk are the heart of what we’ll learn about in the afternoon workshop. AND, we won’t forget to talk about milk from healthy, pasture-raised animals as a vibrant, life-giving food that not only bolsters the immune system but fends off countless degenerative diseases that were virtually unheard of just a century ago.

What you’ll learn:

How to keep goats healthy naturally
How to milk a goat
How to process the milk
The basics of cheese making for the farmstead
A variety of recipes for different ways to preserve cheese

You’ll have a pleasant time in the countryside at Blue Rock Station, meet some interesting people and enjoy high tea at the end of the time together.

Reservations are a must to avoid disappointment. Be sure to wear sensible shoes that can survive mud, and sun glasses, if it is a sunny day.

Registration for this event is only $45 and includes a tour of Blue Rock Station, the presentation, cheese sampling as well as a proper cup of British tea. To register for this event, e-mail Annie at annie@bluerockstation.com or give her a call at (740) 674-4300.

Tour Blue Rock Station:

First stop is a stroll around the grounds of Blue Rock Station - home of Ohio's first Earthship, an amazing home made of tires, cans, bottles and earth. During the summer there will be a variety of projects to view including a plastic bottle greenhouse and the espalier wall. You will tour the home for an insight into how this structure uses the sun and the earth (as well as various bits of "trash") to create a warm and welcoming home.

Please reserve your spot early so that you will not be disappointed. For reservations call us at (740) 674-4300 or e-mail us.
