And that’s a wrap on another year at The Nesting And that’s a wrap on another year at The Nesting Box!

This year was a year of growth - both physically (hello pregnancy!) and as as a homeschool community. 

If you’re a mama trying to preserve childhood while also searching for other homeschool families to connect with each week, then we would love for you to join The Nesting Box! I might be biased, but we have the best community around in the Chicago burbs.

Likeminded mamas, I would love to hear from you below! 👇🏻

This might shock you but… You can raise dairy g This might shock you but…

You can raise dairy goats on limited acreage.

When we started our homestead, we were limited to 1.25 acres, but we still had multiple pastures, 7 goats (including bucks!), and 20 chickens.

While it takes a bit more creativity to appropriately rotate/let pastures rest for parasite management, it’s definitely possible to raise dairy goats, even with limited space. Maybe that dream of real goat milk isn’t too far away after all 😉 

Drop your questions for raising dairy goats below, and if you’re local to the Chicago area and looking to start your own herd - then let me help! 👇🏻

Here’s the truth about real milk and pregnancy 👇🏻

Nope, there’s nothing inherently “dangerous” about real milk in itself. The potential risks originate from appropriate udder cleaning, disinfecting equipment, and milk processing procedures.

It’s simple. Contaminated milk = UNSAFE milk. 

If you’re consuming milk from a farm that appropriately cleans udders (including a pre-wash +  iodine pre/post dip), thoroughly disinfects all equipment to eliminate the risk of equipment contamination, + rapidly chills milk, then your “risk” significantly decreases. 

Personally, if I wasn’t the one milking start to finish, then I would also want the farm to routinely test their milk, too. We want healthy + happy cows, friends. 

Pregnant or not - who’s enjoying that real milk?!
