| GOAT |
Products |
Over 70% of the world’s population eats goat meat. Americans are simply behind the times! Goat meat is a lean, healthy and delicious alternative to beef and other meat products. According to recent statistics we've seen, goat beats out chicken, lamb, pork and beef in having the lowest number of calories and grams of fat and saturated fat. And how does it taste? People compare it to lamb, finding it less greasy. |

We raise primarily Boer goats and have been doing so for several years. We have a strong, sustainable herd that we have developed with careful breeding and selection. Our herd has access to over 20 acres of pasture, raised solely on grass, clover and hay in the winter. Grazing on open pasture helps with the general health of the animal: They get exercise. They absorb sunshine. They breathe fresh air. Some say that the taste, texture and nutritional profile of any animal protein that is produced on pasture is exceptionally better. We think so too. You can purchase Goat by the whole or half. Or if you just want to give it a try, we welcome the opportunity to introduce you to this fine product by offering individual cuts (2008 prices):

If you want a whole or half, the price is $2.50/lb hanging weight plus $60 processor's fee for a whole ($30 for a half). We will provide a cutting order about a month in advance, so you can specify your request. And we'll help you with your order, if needed. We use a local meat processor to butcher and package our product. They will individually vacuum seal each package in heavy plastic, suitable for freezing. Our goats are generally available in the fall. Or call to check availability. |

| Wonder how to prepare goat? The same way you might fix lamb: Grill steaks, roast a leg, braise stewing meat. Just keep in mind the lower fat content. If you would like suggestions, see our recipe section or look on the web for recipes referencing goat, chevon or cabrito. |
