Our first attempt at Soap Making … Briden Farm Soaps

No Comments
Briden Farm Soaps

I’ve long wanted to make soap, and now have finally made our first Bars!

Sample Bars to start, these ones with Oatmeal and Goat Milk. I’m told, as soap ages, or after it ages, it dries out some and tends to last longer. However, these little Bars of Oatmeal and Goat Milk melt with a luxurious sense of purpose and seem to clean and leave your hands feeling silky smooth. 

So, not bad for a first attempt! 

Do you have suggestions or requests? What are Your favourite scents? How big of a bar are you looking for? What price are You used to paying?

Milking Our Goat On Pasture At The Barn Property

Milking Our Goat On Pasture

One of my long time dreams, when it comes to goats, is to be able to sit o a hillside and milk a goat. I realized that dream a few days ago! It was a misty morning, the sun just breaking through, and the hill was overlooking the work the goats and pigs have been doing at The Barn Property. Unfortunately I didn’t get a video of that! 

However, today, the Barn Property owner, Cheryl was there and did the following video of us milking …

We use our Briden Farm Goats, Pigs, Chickens, and Bunnies to help rid the area of invasive weeds, like Japanese Knotweed, Goldenrod, and Lupines. The animals do an incredible job, as seen in the photo above. Not only do they do a good job getting rid of weeds, the disturbance they cause the vegetation and soil helps to regenerate the land as is evidenced by the green grass that emerges after the animals pass through, as we rotate their pasture. 

If you’d like more information on how our Briden Farm animals work and the results, we do have testimonials and would love to talk to You. Contact Brian at Briden Farm 902-907-0770.

The Cost of Keeping a Goat

No Comments
Two Goats Milking At Briden Farm

So, You’ve thought about it! Right?

Although You wonder if you have the money? The Time? The Space? The “Know How”! Right? 

While I think some things need to be adjusted for the local area, and these times when costs are skyrocketing, I found this article by PetKeen to be helpful…

How Much Does a Goat Cost? (2022 Price Guide)

In it they rate that, the 

“Total Monthly Cost of Owning a Goats $20–$150 per month”

I’m glad they also state that, “The low monthly cost is one of the perks of owning a goat, and if you’re willing to put in the hard work yourself, there’s no reason that you need to spend more than $20 to $25 a month caring for them.”

Now, that really doesn’t include the cost of fixed costs like housing, pasture, fences, and so on. These days that can come in anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands! 

Then there’s the time and care that goes into keeping Your Goats. It’s funny, the way things work! Generally if we have the money, we don’t have the time! Right?

Now, what if I told You there’s a way You can! 

What would You say if I told You there is a place where You can have a Goat, have it fed, housed, and pastured, all for about $30 a Week! 

Would You like more details?
