When we make the final shift to the Cactus Rd. Farm I'll be getting some dairy goats. We're evaluating how many Nubians to acquire.
In that - we're wondering what the interest in fresh, raw goats milk from goats might be. Our goats will be free of CL (Caseous Lymphadenitis)) and CAE (Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis) and from healthy stock.
Mostly some water, heat source and maybe a table like area. Not too much criteria at this time for me. Ruthanne and I were just talking about what it would take to put one together here. Too many things happening right now to do more than talk but next year I should be able to throw something together.
I just use my Camp Chef explorer two burner propane stove and a couple of folding tables when we can outside.
My wife and mother in law had two massive all-american pressure canners for a day doing hamburger ( we three-way split a grass fed beef from northern new mexico).
Then when the apples came in from Utah they did two big water bath canners simultaneously of applesauce and apple rings.
that sounds pretty good....we've got 2 bbq - gas grills and when i get up the nerve to begin using my all american canner....i think i'll use one of those grills outside....
Lylah - likewise to you and Michael - I feel connected through our tweets and on this site - one day we will meet in a class! Another hands-on Herb Planting class is coming in 2010!
Happy holidays and a peace-filled new year to all.

Hi Lylah,
