SEMAP's 2014 Twilight Grower Education Series kicks off in Rehoboth at Rosasharn Farm on May 22nd for a workshop led by Nigerian dwarf dairy goat breeder, Anne Petersen. 

Event Description:

Anne breeds Nigerian dwarf dairy goats for show as well as for milk for her own consumption, and also breeds heritage hogs (American guinea hogs and large blacks). Anne will discuss the characteristics and basics of raising Nigerian dwarf dairy goats, with a focus on how she uses her livestock to create a healthier, more sustainable farm system at Rosasharn. 

This workshop will be a wonderful learning experience for anyone interested in starting or expanding a pasture-based small livestock operation, or anyone interested in learning more about breeding and caring for Nigerian dwarf dairy goats.
