Girl and a Crew of Work Goats

Future Farmgirl with young Brownie Scout

Over the weekend we had a lovely visit to The Farm and finally had a chance to see all the progress that these hungry little goats have made this summer.

Back when I was a kid, there was no view of the fields from this hill. In fact, I don't think I could get to this hill without a chainsaw.

The cleanup crew will eat just about everything and clear close to 70 feet a day. They've already cleared parts of the woods I've never been to, even in winter. They're clearing up views and, more importantly, gobbling up invasive plants and making way for native plants, especially young oak seedlings.

The kids will get to see their progress day-to-day for the next two weeks on their annual farm visit. I can't wait to hear what the goats teach them.
