well, SB wants to try out goats milk first. but if she likes it, she thinks we probably have room for at least one if not 2 goats, we could milk them and get most of our own milk. Not quite enough for BB as she drinks so much. Of course we wouldn’t need a cow as well, just one animal type will do. and anyway, we don’t have room for a cow. and they would only give us blue milk, with all the fat still in, and we need green or red. hmm, yes, a goat would be good.
we don’t really want bees, although we have some, because they might sting. daddy could get the honey, but maybe we won’t bother as we don’t use enough.
chortle chortle chortle on my behalf! we are raising a smallholder. possibly a good career path.

We did a milk taste test over a year ago with rice milk, goats milk, cows milk and soya milk. We wanted to include buffalo milk after visiting a buffalo farm (delicious ice cream from buffalo milk) but Waitrose didn’t stock it at the time (they do now). At the time we didn’t like any other than the cows milk but might re-run it with the bufffalo milk and see if we still feel the same way.
we’re def not going to have a buffalo!!
aw go on. The baby ones are so cute
I think you need hens as well Helen! It would cure the slugs eating the brassicas problem and give you free range eggs into the bargain!
