Arrival at Kara Kahl Farm in southeastern Minnesota. We crossed the Mississippi river in Wisconsin on our way to Houston, MN. The place is so beautiful! Tons of corn farms and the land is so green--not New Hampshire green but greener!When we first arrived, Doug came to greet us and showed us around our basement suite which included our own bedroom, bathroom and living room - the perfect amount of privacy so that we don't feel like we're imposing too much on their lives.
Pramod and I were then taken to the barn where we met the goats andlearned about the feeding and milking. Doug and Mary have about 40 goats. We both milked the goats and had some trouble at first, but eventually got it -- but slowly. Most of their milking is done mechanically with a vacuum, so we haven't had much opportunity to practice this skill. I really like the goats a lot.

ReplyDeleteDavid treated everyone to ice cream at Granite State Candies (per his Hippo magazine voting promise)last night. Only 7 of us made it but everyone was asking how you're doing!
