Meet Ginger, Gigi, Farlight, Mango and Licorice... in that order. Pictures are still pending for Edelweiss and Guava. Since the only grade A goat dairy in Alaska had to close it doors suddenly, we had the opportunity to rapidly expand our herd.
Now we are the proud owners of 7 dairy goats. 6 are adults, 5 are bred to kid within the next 8 weeks, and 4 are currently milking. What a grand adventure we are on! Our new herdshare program has a name... Lunachick Mountain Goatshares.
We're offering herdshares for $40 each, with weekly boarding fees of $10. In return, our participants are entitled to a gallon of raw milk. There are also wickedly fresh eggs from our flock of 53 hens, which are available for $6 a dozen or $9 an 18-pack.
Since our homestead is not road-accessible, we deliver goods to Palmer every Wednesday, and now to Eagle River/Anchorage every other week.
