How can goats milk be used?
In addition to drinking the milk, our family uses it for cooking and baking. It can be preserved by canning or freezing for future needs. We also make butter after separating the cream. It is smooth and mild. All types of soft and hard cheeses can be made from goats milk. Soft cheese, called chevre, is easy to make and has multiple uses. It can be seasoned in a variety of ways and made into cheese balls. It can also be used to make delicious desserts, including cheesecake. Chevre can be substituted in any recipe calling for cream cheese. We also like to make mozzarella and ricotta cheese. There are many how-to books and videos explaining the art of cheesemaking and numerous recipe books and cheesemaking supplies available. Our children often remind us that the milk makes wonderful yogurt and ice cream too! Goats milk can also be used to make creamy and natural soap. Visit our friends at Faith Mountain Farm to see the wonderful soap products they make from their fresh, natural goat’s mi
