Teaching team Jilly Middleton runs Twelve Trees Farm in Cygnet – an
organic blueberry farm. While she currently has no goats on her farm,
she spent 7 years farming goats naturally for meat, milk and to manage
a range of weeds on her farm include gorse and blackberries. She is a
wealth of practical knowledge and has a rare depth of information on
everything goat. She recently sold her goat herd to Fat Pig Farm where
they now spend their days eating blackberries. You can see her talking
goats with Matthew Evans talking on a recent episode of The Gourmet
Farmer here. . Hannah Moloney runs Good Life Permaculture where
she’s the lead educator and permaculture designer. For the past two
years, she’s also been doting on two toggenburg goats – one of
which she milks daily in central Hobart. She brings the unique
experience of urban goat keeping, has worked through numerous
challenges of sourcing food, health and fencing. All of this can be
applied to any domestic “house goat context” in both rural and
(some) urban locations. Food This workshop includes delicious and
nutritious lunch from the Fat Pig Farm kitchen. You’ll feast on
seasonal produce straight from their farm. We can’t really describe
how good their food is (it’s really good), so you’ll just have to
come try it. Venue We’re holding this workshop at Fat Pig Farm in
Glaziers Bay. Fat Pig Farm have their own herd of goats which students
get to see in action. Bred by Jilly around the corner on her own farm,
these goats have been trained to eat weeds, specifically gorse and
blackberries. Where’s Fat Pig Farm? The exact location of the venue
will be shared with students closer to the workshop. Cancellation
policy There is no refund available for this course. If you’re
unable to make it we encourage you to pass your place onto friends or
