About this title

Synopsis

In the newest addition to the successful Living with series, author Margaret Hathaway and photographer Karl Schatz tell readers all they need to know about how to raise a goat or two (or twenty) in their backyards. They address a wide range of topics, including breed characteristics, raising goats for milk or meat, shelter requirements, how to prevent injury and illness, and goats as pets. Replete with friendly advice, homespun wisdom, and entertaining anecdotes, Living with Goats reassures readers how easy and how rewarding it is to raise goats. It is a must for armchair farmers, hobby farmers, do-it-yourselfers, and those who already own a few goats. The book features more than eighty charming photos by Karl Schatz.

About the Author

Margaret Hathaway and Karl Schatz live with their family on Ten Apple Farm, a homestead in southern Maine, where they raise dairy goats and poultry, tend a large garden and small orchard, make cheese, and give occasional workshops on basic homesteading skills. When not farming, Karl is the director of Aurora Photos, an international stock photography agency. The couple’s previous book, The Year of the Goat, is a memoir that chronicles their journey from their lives in New York City to their home on the farm. Visit Margaret and Karl at livingwithgoats.com.
