After almost 3 years of anticipation, we finally get our goats! We drove to Appleton, Maine, home of Caitlin Hunter and Appleton Creamery. Caitlin is the president of the Maine Cheese Guild and one of Maine's best cheese makers. We picked out 4 goats, 2 doelings and two bucklings, who we will wether and train to pack. The girls we will breed and begin to milk next year. We named them all after famous Mainers: former governor Percival Baxter and governor and civil war hero Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. The girls are Chansonetta Stanley Emmons, a early photographer in Maine who photographed rural living, and "Flyrod" Crosby, Maine's first female Maine Guide. We took them home (all four!) in a dog crate in the back of the goat mobile (of course!). Now they are happlily living in the barn!
