My husband and I are using two gallons a day..... I am making a lot of cheese to last us until next spring's kids are all weaned/sold. We ran out this year a long time ago so I went from two does to four this year. It is addictive!

I have a book called, "Goats Produce, Too" that I use A LOT...ordered from Hoeggers, I believe...the coconut cream pie is to.die.for.

I have this book too and I really like it. It's a very basic book but has all the *how to stuff*. Ice cream, puddings, pies, yogurt, cheeses, soaps, and goat meat recipes too. It's a great beginner book and I highly recommend it to anyone just starting out - like me .

Thanks for the rec and the reviews! We are new to goats too. And we are bringing home a goat in milk this weekend, so I expect to be making some yummy stuff!

Ice Cream Recipes here: Just use 100% goats milk and no cream. Double the recipe for a 4 quart ice cream freezer.

Yogurt is good and easy.

Another great version, Garlic and Herb: Follow above recipe but add (for each gallon of milk) 1/2 tsp. salt, 3/4 tsp. italian herb seasoning, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder. Wonderful stuff!
