Farm life to be discussed during library event
HICKORY â Have you ever wondered what life is like living on and managing a working farm? Dawn Mathews, owner of The Thankful Goat, will be sharing humorous stories of farm life in a virtual Zoom presentation Thursday, May 20, at 6 p.m.
Mathews is the owner of The Thankful Goat, a business featuring goat milk products which is based in Lenoir. In 2009, she bought a goat with thoughts of making delicious cheeses for her family.
The goat, Athena, had other ideas and promptly ate a bush that is toxic to goats. This required an antitoxin shot which rendered her milk undrinkable for 10 days. Dawn decided to make soap with the undrinkable milk. Since those days, Mathews and her family have moved from a half-acre microfarm to a 15-acre farm they built for themselves while living in a camper.
