If you have questions about entering the amazing world of goat farming, John and Rachel—makers of Red Clay Soap—are happy to be hosting a Goat Farming Basics Workshop at their homestead, Double Blessing Farm. Having been a DHEC certified dairy since 2000, they have built and operated two different farms in South Carolina, and have learned the homestead dairy world from the inside out.
SPACE IS LIMITED TO 12 PARTICIPANTS
Gain First-Hand Knowledge and Information
Having helped start over 30 other homestead dairies we will be able to provide a clear picture of what it takes to raise goats and give you first-hand information and instruction. By the end of the day you may even be able to milk a goat yourself!
