Ironically, the poor man's cow produces some of the world's most expensive cheeses. Even in France, which produces more than two thirds of all the goat cheeses, they are generally regarded as luxury cheeses. Still, nowhere in the world are the prices of goat cheeses as high as they are in the United States.
On the farms, women made delicate fresh cheeses at home. Yet since such cheeses didn't transport well, they were eaten almost exclusively by the farmers, their family, and neighbors.

Please pack Deetz clothes and put him/her on the train. I'll be at the station to greet him/her. Wonderful pictures. I love goats.

I made some of that expensive cheese today. It won't be ready to eat until tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I have the urge to make cheese too. It has been about 6 months since I have made any!
The "kids" look great!
Your boys are so handsome. I just love their names too!
We keep a pretty regular supply of those "luxury" cheeses around here. ;) And I also know why I'm invited to certain gatherings too...lol. ;)
Your little cows are beautiful! I'm with Diane: I especially love the coloring in sugarpop and deetz, but they've all become real to me. I just want to reach into the computer monitor and hug them!
