February Meeting


Our talk at this meeting was from Nick King who owns a company called Goats of the Gorge. He was formerly in the Police Force but following a car accident it was found that he had a number of underlying health issues. He discovered the benefits of goat's milk from talking to his doctor and decided to buy a few goats for his own consumption. From this small beginning he has gone on to start a business selling various products made from goat's milk including soaps, shampoos and skin cream. We were able to buy some of his products on the night. it was a very interesting evening.
