I promised you something tasty and *NO* it is not going to involve these two lovely little girls! Well, not today, anyway. But sometime next year these sweet babies will be producing rich butterfat-laden milk that will be crafted into cheese, cajeta and other milky farm-fresh goodies.

Baa and Lise are Nigerian Dwarf Goats (they only come up to the tops of my shins!) and are the first two out of four that will start up the Mini Milkers Dairy Farm (see my “aspiring” category on the sidebar). They are the most lovingly adorable creatures on four legs I have ever encountered and I find myself getting to the farm frequently for a fix of some “goat love”.

Mini Milkers is the endeavor of my BFF (and business partner), Karen’s thirteen year old daughter, Hannah, who created this project for a women’s fellowship program she is participating in at her school.

Karen happens to be the most fashionably chic woman I know, hands down, non-pareil. She also has the ability to out-Martha Martha Stewart any day (I’ll get photos of her wicked haunted gingerbread houses come Halloween), and willingly tackles any kind of hard work or daunting project that comes her way with style and grace – my dear friend is the acme of well-roundedness.

She did, however, acknowledge a Paris Hilton-type moment while readying for the petite ruminant’s arrival last week as I received this text: “I just had to laugh when I filled the trunk of my car with goat chow and saw my Christian Louboutin’s in there, too!”. Just another day on the farm….
