Adopt a goat that we take care of following the Organic Farming regulations of the European Union since 2002. The Thuringian Forest Goat is a native livestock breed that is threatened with extinction. It is recognized by its white face markings and otherwise chocolate brown coloured or black coat. It‘s a medium sized, sturdy goat that is robust and hardy compared to other goats. Its origins are in the German state of Thuringia, which is where we keep our herd of 350 goats as well. Our goats stay outside in the summer months and in good weather and can eat the fresh grass and fragrant herbs, flowers, leaves and bark directly from our diverse pastures around the farm. In winter we feed them with hay and silage made from lucerne. Additionally we give them organic concentrate. Our young herd is 4 years old in average. However, the animals on our farm can get up to 12 years old. For as long as you want to keep it and we can continue taking care of it, you can renew your adoption year after year. If your goat dies, we will replace it with no additional cost and assuring the delivery of your harvest from other goats. A goat produces approximately 3 litres of milk per day, which is approximately 720 litres per year. We can then make about 130kg of barbecue cheese in a year from that. This cheese will be distributed to 120 CrowdFarmers.
