Launching a series of summer events & activities at the Mount Hope Farmers Market, there will be a Goat Milking Demonstration at the Mount Hope Farmers Market on Saturday, July 14th at 10:30 am.  The Farmers Market takes place on the Mount Hope Farm at 250 Metacom Ave in Bristol, and is free and open to the public. Â
The Reynolds Barn Goat Dairy, of North Kingstown, RI, has been a regular vendor at the Mount Hope Market since it started in November, 2011, and their baby goats have been a fixture at the outdoor market all this spring and summer--proving to be a highlight for market-goers of all ages! Â
On July 14th the Reynolds family will be offering a demonstration & explanation at the market of just how their goats are hand-milked; the first step in producing the final products of cheeses and soaps. Â This is a great learning opportunity for children and adults--the chance to see firsthand where their food comes from!
