Chevon

We are frequently asked what Chevon (goat meat) tastes like...it is often described as a milder, leaner alternative to lamb.  Our best advice is to try it; you won't be disappointed.   

Goat is a very healthful meat.  It has less fat overall, and less saturated fat, and is lower in cholesterol than beef, pork, lamb, or chicken. It is higher in iron and similar in protein.  Some care must be taken in cooking such a lean meat.  We recommend most cuts be cooked low and slow, although chops seared on the grill are delicious!  Chevon can be substituted in lamb recipes, and it can also be cooked similar to venison. To really appreciate all the unique qualities and tastes of chevon, there are cookbooks and recipes focused purely on goat.  

Our goats are raised on pasture and prefer browsing on shrubs and weeds.  They are an environmentally sound choice for meat and milk, as they have a light impact on the land.  They enjoy eating plants such as Canadian Thistle, and thus help curb the spread of undesirable weeds without the use of herbicides.
