Coonridge Organic Goat Cheese Dairy is a little farmstead cheese making operation deep in the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico. I’m spending the fall here working and learning about goats, cheese, farming, and living off-grid. I’ve been here for two days, and it’s been wonderful. More words later, but for now, here are some pictures!
We milk 58 does.

My cozy new home.

Oh wow, I thought you weren’t leaving until later! I’m so glad you’re taking pictures, it’s fun to see what your new life looks like. I milked goats for the first time today! I was terrible at it, and it was much more difficult than I expected…anyway, hope your first days are going well!
Yes, it’s been awesome. We mostly use milking machines, so you’re probably going to get better at it than I am. I’m going to learn hand milking too though. Are you posting updates anywhere?
Ah yes, with 58 I suppose milking machines are essential. We only have 10 that we milk. I’ve now milked for the third time; it’s getting much easier. I’m also keeping a blog: grownintexas.wordpress.com
