What else is new? I've taken on too much or will be soon. I read about the health benefits of raw goat's milk and talked to a few friends about it. We bought our first gallon and HATE it. We have been mostly vegan for the past 6+ years and I never liked eggs and milk as a kid. I only ate them because they were supposed to be so good for you. I was pretty glad when I found out that you don't need to eat them to be healthy and with the present factory farming methods, they can be quite detrimental to your health. I missed cheese a little when we changed our diet, but really nothing else.
Fast forward now 6 + years, we are doing well. We eat lots of greens and salads and we seldom get sick. But a couple of my kids are smaller than I think they should be, and I just think that if we had a good source of raw goat's milk and maybe some eggs that maybe it would help them grow a little faster and better. So I have been seriously considering chickens and I found a lady who lives about 5 min. away who has a barn and pasture and has had goats before and would like to share the work and cost for milk. It doesn't get fresher than that. Unfortunately, we do not like the taste at all!!
Do any of you have some ideas for me or words of encouragement? Is adding Kefir to our diet going to help us enough to be worth the effort? I really hope this is worth it. I just don't know. Maybe my kids are just going to be short, I do have some strong tendencies for shortness. My mom is 4'11" and my dad is 6'4" and my sister and I only ended up being 5'2". Now we are going to be milking a goat twice a day 3-4 days a week. If only we liked the milk. My one friend said to just blend it with the smoothies and we will eventually get used to it. We shall see!!
