My name is Jeanne. For years, I had dreamed of living on a farm in the country and being a dairy goat farmer and cheesemaker. Now that I've moved into a 130-year old home, complete with it's own mill, in the country and rounded up some dairy goats, I plan to chronicle my life learning how to live with nature, with various critters, and all the amenities of rural life on two acres down in the valley. Come take a look-see.

Growing Winter Coats
Acorn has been growing his winter coat for about a month now. I thought it was crazy early this year... is this a sign of the kind of winter we can expect?
Our buck here in the upper Midwest has come into his rutting season nearly a month early and an avid deer-watching friend says he's sees sign the breeding season will start early. Maybe we are in for a very deep winter and they know it before us.
I hope you continue to post. I enjoyed reading your blog. I am looking forward to getting some milking does for my own home dairy and I live in York PA also. Heather
What a great blog! I love the photos of your beautiful goats. I live in Sweden and just started a blog about my goats. I have West African Dwarf Dairy goats. Welcome to my blog: http://gullringstorpgoatsblog.wordpress.com Come take a look!
