Hate this news so two little cuties are bringing it. Equipment is still down. Can't make the Heirloom Farmers Markets. Sorry. September looks good.

What really hurts is dumping the milk. Reminder to support your local farmer! We hang by threads..... We survive on the love of it.

Nice evening storm might take us down into the mid 60s. Cooler tomorrow. I love taking advantage of the "isolated thunderstorms"

We have had equipment problems this week and I was unable to process milk and make cheese (legally pasteurized). Keep your fingers crossed for our quick recovery please!!

We wont be at the market tomorrow.

Where was Chiva Risa? Growing lots of green browse for their grass/browse fed goats! One and one-half inch the last few days with another one and one half inch expected today! http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=31.3353801&lon=-109.94812969999998&site=all&smap=1&searchresult=Naco%2C%20AZ%2C%20USA #.UflyJ8u9KK0

Rain and mud keeping us from Heirloom Farmers Markets today. But the grass is even greener for the goats with another inch of rain! It is downright soggy here - and with frog chorus all night long! See you next week!
