Behind the scenes farm tour with an expanded educational topic - Breed Genetics, AND cheese tasting.
Farm tour touches on the farm system from grass to goats to cheese. Light cheese tasting included.
Breed Genetics
We will dive into identifying our two goat breeds (La Mancha and Nubian), identifying each breed and their hybrid by visible traits (ears), curating a conversation about which traits are important to breed for in dairy goats, with students/guests having the opportunity to discuss and decide their own goals, and hearing from our Heard Manager, Rose, on the breeding goals that our farm pursues and how Rose tracks those.
