Marketing Baby Goats: Bottle Feeding to Kickstart the Season

Join Future Harvest and Molly & Sam Kroiz at George's Mill Farm in Lovettsville, VA as their 2026 kids hit the ground running. This 8th generation family farm produces farmstead goat cheese, whey fed pork, pastured eggs, and goat's milk soap, caramel & ice cream sold through their on site retail store, at markets, and on shelves in regional grocers. Each year they kick off cheese season with tickets sales for bottle feeding and snuggle sessions with the baby goats in the pen. Learn how the farm uses these events to find buyers for the wethers and curate long-term relationships with customers and the community. Molly will share how this seasonal event - along with barn dances and clever t-shirt sales - has grown over the past 10+ years. We will get to see the first babies of the season and the first opening weeks of the baby goat pen. Tour the milking parlor and hear about plans for this season cheese-making!
