Almost Self-Reliant
OK, The other day I was at my PT appointment, and the subject turned to goats, milk, and cheeses.
The PT's son was filling in for the week at the desk, and was very interested in goats milk and cheese. So, he asked me to bring some in for samples...and if he likes it, would I be willing to sell it to him....I am guessing weekly. I informed him I could not legally sell milk or cheese....however I might look into doing a "share" on the goat. Now, my questions are......IF I decide to do the share thing....how would I know how much to charge, and for how much product to be fair for us both?? I know goats milk in the store is around $8/gal....pasteurized and I am thinking the cheese (farmers cheese) runs about $6/lb. Not sure on the Mozz cheese. Any suggestions?? Keep in mind, I have ONE doe...and she gives about 3 qrts a day, ( just over 5 gal a week) and we use about 2 gallons a week. So, there are 3 gallons I could afford to let go of ( we would just not have as much cheese for us, and I am OK with it) ....any ideas??
