Calling all Milk Maids (yes, men are welcome)! The 2015 Milking season has arrived. This is an Open Call for seasonal Milk Maidens in Training (as opposed to Ladies in Waiting…) for the 2015 milking season. We have a small herd of Nigerian Dwarf and Mini Nubian dairy goats. Milking season is ongoing and requires daily milking. The position is rarely open to the community and signups WILL GO QUICK. If you are interested, please contact us directly for the Milking Basics Class and Training schedule. One on One milking sessions are available year round with more or less emphasis on animal husbandry depending on the season. Milking Interns will be announced after training in early April. Milking Interns are eligible for continued positions with the farm. Please indicate your interest level at the time of inquiry CLASS ONLY/TRAINING/MILKING INTERN/MILK MAIDEN. Our bearded ladies (lady goats) respond to familiarity. The selected candidate(s) will become part of the extended farm family. There are opportunities to grow your responsibilities with the farm for the right person. Beginners are welcome!! Training provided. Inquire with info@wishwehadacres for further details. Sign ups are individual and ongoing at this time.
