Goat herd shares offer a unique and sustainable approach to accessing fresh, local dairy products. In a goat herd share arrangement, individuals or families collectively own a portion of a goat or a herd, sharing both the responsibilities and rewards of raising and caring for the animals. This collaborative model allows participants to enjoy the benefits of goat milk and other products without the full commitment of owning and managing an entire herd. Goat herd shares not only promote community engagement but also foster a deeper connection between consumers and the source of their food, contributing to a more resilient and localized food system.
