What's better than goats? Goat kids, most definitely. And lucky for us, kidding season is here! Join us this week to brush up on goat birthing (kidding). We cover everything from what to have in your kidding kit to what to do with improper presentations.
Our youngest Women's History Shout Out goes to the badass 23 year old farmer, Cheyenne Sundance of Sundance Harvest Farm in Toronto Ontario Canada! Cheyenne is a self taught farmer, managing two urban farms. She also focuses on farming education- specifically providing free programs to marginalized youth in her community. Go check her out and support her at Sundance Harvest (sundanceharvestfarm.com) and check out the food network article at How Food Injustice Inspired This 23-Year-Old to Start Her Own Farm, Plus Her Advice for You (foodnetwork.ca)
