Today, A Visit To The Farm Of Our Friend Cindy "The Goat Lady," And Her Newborn Goats (Kids)

A baby goat is called a kid. But Cindy Casavant, a hard-working goat farmer, soap maker, and Maria call them babies. As many of you may know from our Farmer’s Market, Cindy is also known (by me) as the Goat Lady.

Her farm is called CazAcrez.

Cindy is a successful goat farmer and entrepreneur. She is selling a ton of her wonderful soap, the only kind I use now.

She is a rugged farmer but a sharp businesswoman. It is a great pleasure to see her farm and business grow. You can check it out here. She has a terrific blog.

I highly recommend her soap, which she has begun wholesaling all over the area. It’s the best soap I’ve ever used. Cindy sets up at regional farmer’s markets every weekend. She hopes to scale back some of the market visits as the soap business grows (she’s even hired someone to help); it can be exhausting.

Cindy works 14-hour hours daily; on Thursday mornings, she and her husband Larry go out to breakfast. Otherwise, it’s work and work.

She has 90 goats and just had 14 kids. They are going to market shortly, but Cindy invited us over to visit the kids before they go. It was pure joy watching these two, all full of love and warmth, get swarmed by the babies in their pens.

I knew Maria would love this visit, and she did. The goat kids swarmed all over her.

This is the second year we saw Cindy with the baby goats; I suspect it won’t be the last. She has 90 adult goats and uses them to make and sell cheese, yogurt, and other dairy goods: Cindy, our first weekly stop at the local Farmer’s Market.

She has a rugged farmer’s hide but also a soft heart. She shows it with her goats. The visit was a mix of love and chaos. We both loved it. Cindy has a great heart and a generous spirit.
