Key Note Speaker
Carol Coulter, of Heritage Homestead Goat Dairy
Heritage Homestead Goat Dairy is nestled on 17 acres in the mountains of Ashe County just outside of Jefferson, North Carolina. Carol and Lon Coulter purchased the farm in 1994, which had been a working cow dairy until the early 70s. To help clear the briars and brambles that had taken over the farm, the Coulters purchased goats. One thing led to another and soon enough Carol was milking goats and taking cheese classes. In January of 2009, Heritage Homestead became a licensed dairy. The Coulters raise Saanens, Alpines and a few Nubians. Their wonderful sweet milk is made into farmstead cheese sold at local farmers’ markets and select retail shops. The goats are milked for 8 months out of the year and bred and kid in mid-March-April and the cycle begins again. For more information about Carol Coulter and Heritage Homestead Goat Dairy, check out their website.
