Urban Farming Means Community: Part One

6/3/2017

This is our year of transition in so many areas. We are applying for Animal Welfare Certification for our goats. In order to do anything well, we must have a veterinarian that visits. Dr. Aaron Vigil has been extremely helpful in supporting our efforts. This photo was taken with David when he came on a Saturday morning to provide painkillers to de-horn the baby goats. This effort to provide our kids with the least stressful process is a requirement of the standards Animal Welfare Certification.

Thank you, Dr. Vigil!!!
