Fun evening introducing care of dairy goats
Join the Topping family on their small holding in Hailsham, to learn about caring for dairy goats on a smallholding.
The talk will include dairy goat breeds, housing, diet, general care, breeding and kidding.
There will be opportunity to meet the goats, including a practical demonstration of milking with a mobile milking machine.
Finally, course participants can have a go at milking a goat by hand.
Samples of the milk and cream cheese plain and flavoured will be available to try and to buy.
To enable participants to have sufficient time and supervision while milking a goat, the group size is to restricted to 5 people.
The Topping family started their goat keeping journey by keeping 2 dairy goats to supply them with milk, yogurt and cheese.
They really enjoyed their little adventure and found Goat keeping addictive, so their herd multiplied and Marshcroft Goat Dairy business were born.
They are currently milking 7 goats who all have names and they are a very important part of Topping family.
