Next talk is "SO YOU WANT
TO GET A GOAT ? "
Tuesday , April 27th, at 7 pm at the Deer Lagoon
Grange on Bayview Rd,
Vicky Brown owner of the Little Brown Farm, a goat
creamery in Freeland,
will be the speaker. Whether you are contemplating
getting goats or have had
them for a long time, come and listen to Vicky's goat
stories.

discuss what you need
to do , which is BE READY, before you bring your goat

interested in goats for milk, meat, fiber, brush clearing or
just as pets? Come
and listen to the experiences of other goat raisers and
get ready to enjoy your

cooking and I believe
there will be samples! May 25th Duke LeBaron will be talking about
"Raising rabbits for meat."
June 8th, TBA
Thanks to Kim Larson for
suggestions for future topics. If any of you have suggestions please send them
along. If you know people who have niche
specialty skills, ask them if
they would be willing to share their
knowledge. Sometimes our speakers have a
business and might benefit from the
publicity but most of the time they
do not, and contribute their time and
materials out of the goodness of their
hearts and the Grange provides the
space . That 's why there is no charge for
these learning opportunities.
We will be taking a break from Grange classes in the summer, but I am working on Fair U, a series of talks during the Island County Fair, so I welcome any suggestions for topics there , but send them soon, we are working with deadlines.
from Chris Williams, of the Deer Lagoon Grange
