Goat Milk Products "How To"

Spring is coming. That generally means that animals will be having their off-spring and the mamas will have milk. So if you raise goats, that means that soon you will have an abundance of goat milk. If you are like most people who raise goats, you will not be able to use all your goat milk each day as you milk your goats -- there is only so much time in a day. So what to do? Of course we will freeze that creamy goat milk until you have the time to process it into one of many goat milk products.

How to freeze the milk for soap making is easy. Start saving small yogurt or sour cream containers (have others help in this endeavor). Each day you can measure your milk by weight into these cartons. I like to freeze uniform weights so there is no guess work or need to re-weigh your milk at soap making time. Then when you are making soap, you take out how many frozen milk cubes you need for your batch of soap and you are ready to go.

If you do not raise goats, it would be a good idea to find someone in your area who does! I know that many goat milkers are happy to sell some of their surplus. How nice it would be to tell your friends and customers who buy or use your soap that their goat milk soap has milk from the neighborhood goat farm in it. Besides soap, there are other goat milk products. How to keep goat milk surplus for those projects is no different than that of soap making. Go ahead-- FREEZE THAT MILK!
