We'll start with a tour of Art Farm Austin's gardens and meet the farm animals (chickens, goats, pigeons), followed by a crash course in urban agriculture and Austin's food landscape. Then, we'll get hands-on in the goat barn with a morning or evening milking. I'll show you step-by-step how to hand-milk a Nigerian Dwarf goat named Iris, how to process the milk safely, and how many ways you can use goat milk in the kitchen and beyond! After our milking session we'll enjoy some extremely fresh goat milk in tea or coffee, and you can sample some plain delicious goat milk! I'll also send you on your way with some fresh herbs from the gardens and a list of farmstands, farmers markets and shops you can visit to sample locally produced food!
