every friday morning ben and i are vida verde goat milkers! "Vida Verde is a nonprofit that promotes educational equity by providing free, overnight, environmental learning experiences for students who don’t otherwise get the opportunity" (http://www.vveducation.org). part of the children's educational experience is to milk goats. on the non-education days, the farm needs people to help milk the goats. i decided to volunteer... and bring ben along for fun!

the goats eat while you milk them. they get excited to be milked!

we get to keep the milk we get from milking the goats. ben is drinking it instead of cow's milk. i have not switched from soy yet... i am going to make cheese from it today!
